One major attraction to this event over the past 4 years has been the thought behind on site facilities, the provision of flushing loos, wash hand basins and hot showers.
A most refreshing change to what is usually associated with festivals!. Such thoughts have encouraged generations who once frequented festivals and carnivals in their earlier years back as attendees. You're never too old !!
