The camping field will be bigger for the 2010 festival and will have showers and washbasins with hot/cold running water. The car park will be totally separate from the camping area and there will not be any camping in the new car park field!Kids area
The Kids corner will be back in a larger marquee.Croissant Neuf at Watchet
For the first time green event leaders Croissant Neuf are having a presence at the Watchet Festival which will mean one third of the festival will be solar powered. The second stage will be run by Croissant Neuf which has run the stage in the Greenfield's site at Glastonbury Festival and will host a wide range of acts, DJs', and workshops. The Croissant Neuf section of the festival will be powered by a 10-tonne solar truck, which is something the festival organisers are keen to build on in the future. Other changes to this year's event are the expansion of the camping site, as well as showers in the campsite and flushing toilets in the quiet family camping area!.On-site Bars
The real ale bar and Cider Island will make a return alongside Thatcher's Cider and Cotliegh Brewery towards the festival. The on site bars are run by the festival to keep the entrance price as sensible as possible.Watchet
Watchet was an Old Port which has now been converted into a modern marina. It is centrally located near to Exmoor National Park, the Quantocks and there are plenty of beaches. It is also possible to travel here by boat from Cardiff.More information will be here when available.
