On 4-May-26, Keith Orchard said:Excellent weekend!
I’m currently trying to exit the camping field at 0830 on Monday, but not sure when the gates will be unlocked. I’ve spent a long time looking without success for a phone number for someone to contact to find out when the gates will be unlocked.
In an emergency shouldn’t there be a phone number to contact if an ambulance or other vehicle needs to get in at night?
Thanks for a superb weekend, Keith

Wonderful Weekend with great callers and fabulous bands. I would love for there to be enough herbal teas to last the whole weekend, some of us don't drink black tea.
Many thanks for all your hard work!

There were herbal teas left over! I took them home. Like you, I don't drink 'normal' tea.
Maybe they were just not in the right place!
If there's anything missing, just ask a steward, they should be able to find it.

Great festival. So well organised and enjoyable. Thank you for all your hard work.
I would like to comment on the lanyards . Unfortunately l could not read the names on the lanyards.
Script has to be big for just the Christian name please. I would like to call some people by their first name and don't need their surname.
Thank you Ursula

Maybe a good compromise would be to have the full name on one side (there may be 10 Davids on site) and just the first name — in a large font — on the other?

This was my first folk festival & I found the whole thing absolutely amazing & so much fun.The workshops were brilliant. I was particularly in to American dancing & squares.Geoff Cubitt was my favourite caller. He was amusing but clear & anything he was involved in I wanted to be there.
I also enjoyed the waltz workshop with John Sweeney & 'Keeping Thyme'.
The Becket workshop with Contra Sutra were also good. I have to say….what a band!
The food was good, the parking adequate & the whole weekend was an absolute success for me. The only criticism……some of the American dances were a trifle long. I have to admit to breathing a sigh of relief when some of them ended but to be fair I am not an old timer.
Most of all the things I enjoyed the most was the people who attended. I seemed to make so many friends & look forward to seeing these people again when I attend my next adventure.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the festival.
I totally understand how you feel about doing an American dance about 13 times through. I feel exactly the same.
Sometimes the caller gets distracted, looking at the next dance, sometimes they just like seeing people enjoying themselves; perhaps we all need to put on really bored faces after the ninth time through? Maybe they'd notice then?
It's one of those things.
