All Together Now 2024

Just looking at the map that was linked for this year's festival - was there a bar in the Arcadia field last year as there seems to be this outing? I can't seem to recall one there, although once we got in we just stayed put at the fence beside the dragon sculpture due to the ground conditions.

Yea there was on the opposite side than the dragon towards the back. Never made it there myself cause of the mud but the other half got us some pints there at one point.

Couldn't get over the quality of the draught Guinness at the festival last year!

thanks, it does, which helps but the favourite tab listed them in date and time order

Is all this rain giving anyone else the fear. I am dreading another muck fest. Hopefully they have made some adjustments and learned a bit from last year.

Long term forecast not giving much of an indication just that rainfall is to be below average for the time of year which is pretty positive, but as always take it with a pinch of salt, too far out yet. I'm not from the south east, but I don't think it's had a particularly wet summer so far, so let's hope it continues.

I "think" the last few weeks have been relatively dry, it's not been a great summer, it's been cooler than normal temperature wise, I'd imagine the ground is in decent nick, at the moment, but with 3 weeks out we need this trend to continue, iirc last year, from the end of June onwards it rained non-stop, the ground was fairly saturated by the time the festival came around and the rainfall that Friday night with the storm was the icing on the cake. We'd all love blue skies and sunshine for 3 days, but I'd settle with it being dry and mild

Yes, this! Dry is all I want!

Was across in England in May at a festival in Derbyshire - Bearded Theory - was a moderate mud-fest. Can be very offputting.

That is too bad, especially for your wife. Sorry to hear that. The mud in the campsite at ATN last year was indeed a sight to behold, as well as down in the 'bottom field' where bandstand etc is.

Disappointing that someone with a degree of disability is inconvenienced due to the weather like that. I thank my lucky stars that I am well/in good health…I think! But if I had any disability, I would dealry love to be able to still get to my music events.

Here's hoping that, for you & your wife (if she goes again!), it is enjoyable & dry!
