?Family Festival
Would've preferred to have commented Privately to In It Together but have found no facility for feedback?
My first attendance at 'In It Together' and at a festival as a 'festival-goer'! Previously volunteered, as a steward, at numerous and various festivals over the years including Glastonbury!
Line up was great, (well done to those involved in securing class acts), facilities all good (once I found the showers!), security on gates friendly, vendors (little pricey?) but excellent food 😊 Overall a lovely festival though appeared to be, sadly, overrun by teenagers!
I attended as part of the family ticket. I was a grandparent who went free and should have been in 'family' camping? Family camping appeared to be 'general camping'?? Not wanting to spoil the fun of teenagers, families of young children, should NOT have been amongst them. It was not suitable for us 'oldies' with under 10s. Disturbing hearing the talk of drugs, hearing arguments, terrible language and threats to both boys and girls. Sunday night was horrendous with kids running riot around the camp site until the early hours. (Where's Alan'!) I didn't feel safe. Security did, I think, turn up eventually. They turned up, definitely, on the Friday night due to the noise, shouting and language.
Would've been nice to have some Security wondering around the campsite to check all was well and safe. This is where stewards come in!
Family camping should be for 'FAMILIES'. Families for at least those with under 10 years only. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to have a designated area to accommodate this?
Packing up to be off site by 12 noon would've have been easier with some security/stewards directing/stopping traffic for pedestrians off the campsite going to their cars.
I know I class myself as an 'oldie' I do have a young outlook on life but sadly youngsters today have little respect for others 😢
Want to end with saying a big THANK YOU to the litter picker staff who did an amazing job on keeping the whole site clean and tidy during the three days. You did an amazing job!
