November newsletter and line up anouncement

We are busy finalising next year’s line up and over the next 8 weeks we should have everyone announced and we thank you for your patience during this period. To give some perspective tonight’s announcement includes 27 acts out of over 200 appearing across our stages in 2019. All our stages are returning as before i.e. Pallet, Woodland, Magical Sounds, Maui Waui, Showcase, Convoy Cabaret, Rogues Hideout, Something Else Tea Tent and a proper home for the brilliant Alpaca Sound System.

We hope you enjoy the read and we will be back in touch with more line up news soon.

FESTIVAL UPDATE

Our new area is coming along very nicely with the Pen and Parchment marquee joining us which will showcase comedy, spoken word, band interviews, magicians and charity tent talks from the festivals chosen 2019 charities.

Swamp Trash will be operating a large seated circus performing “Party of Frogs” daily. The show includes street dance, tumbling, chair balancing, masked dance, juggling, extreme limbo, fire, aerial ballet, trapeze and live music. The Swamp Trash marquee will also be showcasing workshops and theatre productions.

Gates open at 9am on the Thursday next year and all campervan/caravan pitches have been marked out in advance. You will then be accredited after you have been parked up. We now have below 500 campervan/caravan passes left available to purchase. The monthly payment plan is available until the end of the year to spread the cost of Adult and Teen tickets over 5 months (including the initial deposit).
