Thanks for that! Do you know if it's possible to get public transport between this camping park and the festival - that way we can leave the car with the tent and enjoy a drink! Thanks!

Dobrudden was a decent campsite (although freezing) last year. Its on top of a hill, we pitched our tents and got the wind full on at us all night! Was about £6-8 in a cab, or 40 mins walk, which was ok around lunch time on one of the days

Be coming to this again, Buzzcocks, James, Ash, Seasick Steve, Frightened rabbit, Sound of Guns all for £30... i know theres more but these stand out to me. Bargain!

Hope the toilet/bar queue issues are resolved from last year though, there was plenty of surveys done so i'd assume so

This fest was looking really good until I read that we`d have to pay £30 for a 4yr old, 5yr old and 11yr old...suddenly becomes far less attractive. And with no camping...looks more like a Day Trippers event.

so how do we rate the campsites??? been reading the thread it sounds good? is there any mingling in the campsites when the music has stopped or is it silence! pretty sure were going dobrudden as it is the closest!!

[TheNewUnion]

Stayed at, I think, Riverside last year. There was a bit of hanging out around a small fire but not much really. Worth remembering that these are proper campsites, there's likely families on a holiday/weekend away so the owners weren't keen on parties in the site - fair enough I guess.

Last year however, there were a couple of after parties in nearby towns. Seem to recall people getting the train to Bradford for a do at Tokyo. I think there was a club night in Bingley itself too.

[PastCaring]

Think that we also will be staying at Dobrudden cos it's the closest - so less to pay in taxi fares Although we still need to phone up and make the booking - which I assume is recommended? We'll be on the look at for fellow festie-goers on the campsite - and for any folks up for a taxi share Only 4 days now - can't wait!

[TheNewUnion]

I phoned to book, sent a deposit too, but seems like a big site so you may get away with just turning up on spec (probably worth a call though). I'm guessing there will be a few festival folks so taxi shares should be fair easy, good idea too. Might make a sign

[PastCaring]

Hmmm, looks like taxis are the least of our problems now - been phoning campsites in the area for the past hour or so - and all of them are full - help!

[PastCaring]

Phew, panic over - we're gonna be slumming it at the Holiday Inn now - he he!

[PastCaring]

Does anyone know if they've announced the actual band playing times yet?

[lifelessfool]

I think we may have also left it abit late for booking campsites! Is the holiday inn expensive?

[PastCaring]

If you quote Bingley Music Live, they have a special deal - comes to £43 a night for a double room with breakfast - which I don't think is bad for a Holiday Inn - plus it's next to the station, so you save money going by train rather than taxi You need to be quick, though, because, as of Tuesday, they only had 3 double rooms left for the Saturday night! Failing that, according to the tourist board, the Ibis in Shipley are charging £47 per night (but I didn't phone them, so I don't know all the details).

[lifelessfool]

Looks like were ending up on a remote site miles away! I'm really excited its jsut a shame the bands finish so early and that.

[Brianmaiden]

Its all to do with location/public trnsport.... re early finishes....

makes for good campsite chat though!

or really good hotel bar sessions!

make the most of it!

enjoy it! we will!
