I'm not a complete festival virgin, but am so excited at spending my 40th at IoW this year! Any advice specific to this festie please? :-)

....don't camp to near the lake, it turns into a mudbath if it's raining.

remember to explore out of the arena in the other fields, the really small cafe sized tents have even been known to have stages in them too!

Thanks very much, that's really helpful :-)

People look down on you drinking smuggled in cans of strongbow in the zebra champagne lounge

Haha! Oh bugger...looks like I'm going to get scorned then!

_{I cant agree more, break away from the 'train' of people walking through and explore the smaller tents. Intoxicated Tea Rooms, last year, we were dancing to 1940's music remixed by a live DJ but the dancefloor could hold no more than about 50 people. Out the back of the tent, was seating area to sit and chill out..Brilliant !!}

Brilliant thanks, looking forward to it even more now!!

Hi

This may be a silly question but forgive me as its my first time at a festival!

Is it like general camping and there are showers with plugs to use hairdryers/straighteners (wishful thinking)... or are there just your bog standard showers if that? It doesnt say in the FAQ!
