SarahPritchar d Newbie Offline Points:76 Posts: 1	Farmfest Good points: Small distance from tent to actual festival goings-on. Friendly atmosphere and people. Great Value for Money. ecclectic music. A small festival site so no traipsing from place to place and missing everything. bad points: not being notified that a gas cooker wasn't allowed until we arrived which meant that the food we brought was useless. Wouldn't mind buying from the stalls but with 2 adults and 5 kids it's out of our budget! People without kids camping in the family camping area then staying up all night being loud and obviously doing certain substances which the kids kept asking about!! All in all a great weekend was had by all of us and we will most definitely be coming back next year for more farmy fun!

debgary Wannabe Offline Points:22 Posts: 1	Farmfest Overall rating: 4.5 Had a great weekend. Lovely inexpensive little noncommercial festival - friendly people and staff. Great security (very few - not heavy handed like some!) Can take your own drinks in which is always a bonus! Music was ok - not great but the vibe was cool! Could do with a coffee & tea stall and possibly another food outlet as ques were long. Will definitely be going next year!

Betsi Wannabe Offline Points:18 Posts: 1	Farmfestival 2011 Overall rating: 4 I had a lovely time at the festival. Things I liked: - very good value for money - friendly atmosphere - good size, not overcrowded - good mixture of music - great hog roast :) What I didn't like: - the food choice for those who are not into hog roast or sausages (especially vegetarians were lost when the pizza was sold out by Saturday afternoon) - the toilets (eergs) - the fact that people without kids pitched their tents in the family camping area and then partied at their tent all night - this was the biggest disappointment and really needs to be sorted out next time (e.g. information on website *and* gate about restrictions in family camping area)

sandramagill Wannabe Offline Points:23 Posts: 1 : 1	farm fest 2011 Overall rating: 5 This was our first Farm Fest but certainly not our last. Really safe and friendly, beautiful surroundings and brilliant value money, you'd be hard pushed to find a campsite for £35 so to have great music and that festival experience was fantastic. I loved Dodgy too, what a bonus. Can't wait til next year and there'll be more of us for sure. Well done to Gilcombe Farm and all involved and thank-you

NinjaTune Newbie Offline Points:98 Posts: 2	FarmFest Had a brilliant weekend at my first Farmfest and already looking forward to next year. You get what you pay for in terms of facilities (the toilets in particular) however for a £30 weekend ticket I'm not complaining. Beautiful surroundings but be aware it's quite remote if you don't have transport to pop to the supermarket to stock up. There are a few soft drinks and snacks sold onsite but it's very limited. The dance tent was on an impressive slope which didn't help my dancing skills, especially after a pint of Black Rat but the DJ's were bl**dy fantastic! After a few initial technical hitches, DJ Vadim's set was well worth waiting for - love love LOVE that DJ :) High Grade Rockers lifted my spirits and rattled my teeth with their pumping bass in one of the tiniest dance tents I've been in. Lazer maze/cave was fun and had queues outside most times I went past so was obviously a success. An eclectic mix of live music, much of it not to my taste to be honest, but I was there for the reggae and dubstep anyway. I would think that there's something to appeal to everyone somewhere along the line. GOOD POINTS Cheap as chips for the weekend Very friendly atmosphere Scrumpy and hog roast! Brilliant DJ's in the dance tent Beautiful surroundings Helps charideeee :) BAD POINTS The toilets :( Ran out of some food and drinks by Saturday Not much choice of food, need more food stalls

Cush70 Newbie Offline Points:24 Posts: 1	Farmfest Overall rating: 4.5 A great little festival, had a really good time, pleasant and beautiful surroundings. However, the only downer was losing a brown leather hat with shells tied to the front, can I please, please have it back???? Me and that hat, we have history. If anyone does have it, and minor miracles occur, please give me a bell on 07852333152 Cheers, Simon

MichaelNeale Newbie Offline Points:38 Posts: 2	Sunrise 2011 Overall rating: 4.5 Yet again alovely friendly relaxed festival. In beautiful setting. Very visual, lots going on lots to do and lots of excellent bands and DJ's. Zub Zub excelled on the main stage and Spongle Dj set with Raja Ram was brilliant (no Simon Posford ;( ) I hope that it doesnt get a lot bigger. One or two people are plugging Sunrise the alternative to Glastonbury next year.I hope not. Anyway must get to bed it's nearly lunchtime (At a gig all night.) Cosmic ; )

LMcD Wannabe Offline Points:18 Posts: 1	My review Overall rating: 4.5 I think Sunrise was ecstatically amazing. I loved most of the music and enjoied dancing with my mates. There were loads of interesting workshops like harmony singing and African druming. It would be even beter if the festival were on for a week next year - please consider. I thought the satrday night fire performance that the crazy stunt man with the golden frilly underpants did was incredibl! I think some of the stalls were a bit pricey but all in all it was fantastic and good value for money. Thanks. From Laura(age 14) and Linda in Wales.

bishieuk Wannabe Offline Points:24 Posts: 1	Sunrise 2010 Overall rating: 4 The sunrise festival is a good festival overall. Be careful not to confuse it with you bog standard music festival, it is a organic and very spiritual festival celebrated with music. You can tell that there is a little bit of tense air between those that have always attended the festival and the party goers that have turned up in recent years,as it picks up popularity, purely for the music. There is a good range of music at sunrise festival some well known acts to there genre and other low keys bands and DJ's that anyone with a eclectic taste in music would enjoy. They also have some great talks and workshops there I spent many hours crafting a pendant with slate and the people running the workshops where extremely helpful as most of the staff. However the night time security was a lot less friendly the rent-a-cop attitude of them they all had trouble cracking a smile, a check of your wrist band at each field you entry got tedious and although throwing out trespasser is important the manner in which you do it is also important, and the night security did it you just a little to much venom. Prices for food are about the same as most other festivals but you can find a few little gems of stall (daal and chips or rice £4, pig in a bun and a cider £5). ONLY ONE STALL IS ALLOWED TO SELL MEAT so if you don't like veggie food be prepared for a long que! Drinks are reasonable priced for a festival about £3 a pint. If you are spiritually minded or off the land I would recommend this festival put if your just looking for a nice music festival to party at I wouldn't recommend this one.
