Portaloos but some of the best kept and cleanest we have seen at festivals - just avoid those in the main arena.

Are there any urinals?

It’s the details that matter 🙂

Inadequate toilet facilities can affect ones enjoyment at a festival.

Every time you see the Andy loos clean up people you have to salute them (blame Davey Malone).

The only times we have seen bad ones are around the main arena later in the day. Campsite ones have always been clean every time we have needed them.

There are urinals in the arena areas but not in campsites normally.

They really are well kept - but obviously down to the last user.

Yes, Hobo Jones @ Bimble. Assuming that's the whole band tho.

My brother in law is at Bloodstock and just called me, apparently food prices have shot up (he has been going to and working at festivals for years so not like he is a festival virgin surprised at the prices)

Might be due to fewer food stalls being prepared to gear up right at the arse end of the festival season, or Brexit, or Covid, but think might be worth taking a few extra quid or few extra packets of Quavers just in case.

Nope. Dogs had to be re-homed. Very sad.

Separate fields for camper vans and tents mate, no tents in the camper van fields.

We pretty much breezed straight in mid-afternoon on the Thursday when I went, but I don't know if that's normal or if we just got lucky!

I should be arriving between 3-4pm on the Thursday with my mate, hopefully that should see us go straight in.

No idea tbh!

Mate sent me the list of food vendors from their (I think) FB page. Get ready to fill yer boots...

Been doing a lot of organising today ready to head down Thursday lunchtime. Camping gear and festival wear out of the attic, putting aside clothes we want to take and ordering bits we don’t have but need. Biggest surprise is the difficulty we had getting a puddle suit in 9-12 months. 
Back to building the van tomorrow so we have somewhere to sleep…!

"We're excited to add The Selecter, Turin Brakes, Dea Matrona, Marthagunn and Strange Bones to the MAIN STAGE bill. Plus Georgie, Mega, Katherine Priddy, Edward II and Ferris & Sylvester in THE BIG TOP"

I always think the definition of an optimist should be somebody who pays for an ice cream van pitch at a UK festival.
