Things missing this year…

[Ryan1984]

I may have lost my bearings after three years and gone down the wrong paths but were the candle-powered steam boats and 50p tea tent stalls not there this year?

Anything else you wanted to see nowhere to be found?

Le grande bouffe and Manic Organic were both missed by me

I really missed the cafe/bar in The Wood.  Used to spend a good bit of time in there and the cheese and chutney toasties were legend !

I really missed the cafe in The Wood. That had previously been my hangover cure zone and always had a nice vibe.

The worthy view steps

[matichin]

I had a brilliant fest, but in general it felt like there were fewer interesting food options, lots of the same stuff across all the fields. As above, missing Oggies.

 

Also, Arcadia only spitting fire from the spider, not any surrounding torches meant it felt a bit muted (compared to last years, it was still very cool). Assumed this and the lack of a proper show were due to it being a quick cobbled together pivot from Pangaea.

Silent disco in Silver Hayes. Ruined my normal Thursday eve plans 😞

Probably has something to do with a lot of self-employed food traders having to make serious decisions about their future during the 2020 season which didn't exist and the 2021 season which was much shorter than normal. It's seasonal work anyway so a lot of them would have struggled to get anything substantial through furlough schemes etc.
