sunrise...

Beautiful weekend again. Book early for next year - its at solstice!

Sunrise 2010

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.
