Vibe

The whole town becomes the venue , pubs, the Civic Hall, the town square all running simultaneously, so you spend the weekend drifting between rooms and stages rather than queuing for one big field. Long queues formed outside popular venues and wristbands nearly sold out, so it gets busy, but the mood stayed good.

WHAT PEOPLE SAID

“Whole town taken over by music”

“Long queues at popular venues”

“Friendly crowd, great beer”

“No camping, town-centre only”

“Mix of free and ticketed gigs”
