its good as a yoghurt weavers festival and for families but the dance tent was stopped in 2005 because people were being too blatant with drugs etc..

I was just gonna say how much its changed from when i used to go.
They still got the live tent which usually plays life 4 land n stuff haven’t they?

Last time i went i didnt feel so comfortable rollin up.
Before the dance arena was wicked with blokes floggin beer n stuff out of backpacks with a real free party feel.

Ill prob be there, not too far and a good day out.

I’d say its OK if you are into stuff like hippy crafts / fashions and green stuff and teenage emo/indie type bands. when I went there in 2006 it was like a hippified village fete or a smaller version of Reading’s Womad festival. The rave/party side of it has been clamped down on loads in recent times. There may also be a fuckload of cops and sniffer dogs at the station, and as the event ends cops slowly increase their presence to stop the local townies and younger travellers fighting one another.

There was a entire double decker bus full of cops with CCTV kit in 2006.

the balkanisation of festivals and even legal rave events into the Midlands, North, Wales, Scotland and SW England is a big bugbear of mine.

does the Guildford ambient picnic still happen?

the one thing I do know about cambridge is parking is difficult

might be worth going on trip advisor website and posting a question on the forum, I got helpful replies when I did this for summer sundae and even road names to check out!!
