Have you ever been to a festival?

Did you take a good pair of wellies?

I loved Glastonbury in the mid 80’s. I had just separated from my ex and had friends who had a circus in education. We used to all travel down in the big converted van which had a stove and beds in. I loved all of the activities and being the back end of a Chinese dragon.
For the past few years we have been going in the Campervan to WOMAD. The world music is fabulous and the atmosphere fantastic. The age range of attenders is very varied and it’s a very friendly chilled out festival. We have seen so many stunning African and Asian bands as well as music from all over the world. Sadly this festival may never happen again due to the difficulties of obtaining visas for all of the musicians and support staff. We will miss this festival.

'Festivals' abound. There are so many book festivals, film festivals, TV festivals as well as eg the Edinburgh Festival. I've been to some of those.

Does the Greenbelt Festival count?
Used to be held in the grounds of a large house in the next village and, as locals , we got in free!
Great fun, some of my friends camped but seeing as most years it rained and the field ended up like a swamp around the tents - and every local shop sold out of bin bags , that were worn as rain capes, they only stayed for one night!
Saw Cliff Richard twice plus a lot of other Christian rock bands. Usually had a good time!

Went to Glastonbury and Reading several times in the early 90s.
Fantastic memories and lots of teenage fun and games.
It would be my absolute, worst nightmare now.

We got engaged with a coke can ring at the Reading Festival in 1975
