Re the weather all I can remember from last time in 2019 is that the days were usually bright and ok, but the night time was effing freezing! Coldest I have ever been at a festival. Take those extra rugs and woolly socks / or ensure beer jacket is at optimal temperature. I think it will be the same this year. 

Yeah i always find BT is cold at night, beer jacket is always at optimal temp too...

got not interest in work today, need 4pm to hurry the hell up

Bring jumpers!
Or, of course, come and buy them in the Oxfam shop.

That is exactly what I did in 2019. Lined long trousers and a M&S rug! Top service from a top team 👏🏾😎

I really don't remember 2019 being cold but that might be more to do with my memory (and I was staying in a campervan).  I probably spent quite a lot of time in the Maui Waui tent which would have helped as well.

The coldest I have ever been at a festival was in 2020 (yes, I managed to camp at a festival in 2020!) when I went to Beardy Folk.  It's up in the South Shropshire hills and I swear it is 10 degrees lower temperature up there than at ground level.  Not helped by the fact you were meant to stay sitting in your designated circle and the wind was blowing the rain horizontally.  Some of the acts said that they were having difficulty playing as their hands were too cold.  Me and my husband had the gear on that we had bought to go skiing in Canada when it was -25 and my friend had the gear on that she had bought for an Antarctic trip!  So, so cold.

Any recommendations on campsites? 6 of us with staggered arrival times. Prefer somewhere chill but not a quiet/family area.

Totally unprepared for this festival. Should probably start packing at some point.

I won't have my phone with me over the weekend, what time do you think the meet will be and is it at the Woodland bar?

 

Cheers

I believe that people have been told to refer to the 2019 map and it's not much different.

Small one here, but seems to be broadly the same as 2019 which is more detailed https://beardedtheory.co.uk/general-information/

If the Indian place isn't there, we riot.

Need my bacon & egg batch with free coffee for breakfast. 

What is this and how much?

Batch/barm/roll, whatever you call it (please don't start that discussion again) 😄

Can't remember the price now but it was roughly the same price as other stall but you got a free hot drink.

Since I posted the original comment, it has been confirmed that they will be there.

it's quite obviously a fucking breadcake Gnomy

I suspect that he is referring to a "bun" or perhaps a "stottie"? Very odd 🙃

I went to moovin festival at the end of august last year and woke up to frost on the ground one morning

[Pinhead]

Arrived. Setup. Beer. Weather cleared up nicely. Slightly breezy.

[uscore]

I'm fine when it's cold and I'm  in the tent,  it's just being out and about I struggle with. Once the coldness sets in I find it hard to recover and end up having to go to bed earlier than perhaps I want.

[philipsteak]

Couple of degrees warmer wouldn't hurt, but this'd do me for the weekend

On site now. 

The weather is fine and the ground is firm but easily takes a tent peg. 

It's going to be a good weekend. 

Thanks for the update!

[Popsider75]

So excited for this now. Been a long time since been in the fields anywhere. 

Can't wait to chill with a few beers and some fantastic music.

Safe travels everyone.

Hope to speak to plenty of random folk over the weekend!

This is my first Bearded Theory and very excited about it! That Sunday is looking very nippy though, will need to bring lots of layers

I thought it was an Indian breakfast delicacy but you mean a bacon sandwich?
