Hi All,
This weekend we will be dancing at Cambridge Folk Festival. If you'd like to know more about the line-up/please look at the website here:
Getting there - there are lots of trains to Cambridge, either from Kings Cross (~1hr and I think it was £33.15 railcard return) or Liverpool St (slightly cheaper but takes 1hr 30, costs £25.55 railcard return I think), so take your pick on what suits you best. If you haven't already let Becky know whether you are arriving on Friday evening or Saturday morning please let her know. 🚂 From the station you will need to get to the campsite at Coldhams Common, this is NOT the same as the festival site.
I've forwarded your production passes which you need to print, the official line is that you need a printed version to get on site and one on your phone to get your artist pass (your artist pass will also let us access the Green Room for comfy chairs!). We have camping at Coldhams Common - you will need your artist pass that I forwarded earlier to get onto the site. If you are bringing a vehicle (think that is just Clare and Will) then they have your vehicle passes there too, you'll just need to show your artist pass parking is at Netherhall Upper School. Loads of info on arriving in the attached - please read it. There is a free bus between the festival and camp sites, not sure of the frequency, but they run between 9am and 1am.
Becky is going to try and collect all of the artist passes on Friday so she can just hand the wristbands out on people's arrival. She'll whatsapp to confirm but please do factor in times to get them.
If you are arriving on Saturday please make sure you are there in time to have set yourself up on the campsite and made it over to the festival site at Cherry Hinton in good time to start dancing.
Dancing 💃- at the moment we are down to do the following spots on Saturday (and Sunday, but should get confirmation of the later one being earlier in the day soon...)
1200-1220; 1330-1350; 1530-1550; and 1830-1850
We may need to be slightly flexible with these as we are filling the gap between acts on the main stage, so may need to be prepared to stop a couple of minutes early.
We will then crawl in the evening on Saturday - thanks to Rachel/Hannah TD for hunting down pubs for this.
Other stuff:
BYOB - there is alcohol on site but pretty expensive. No glass is allowed in the arena.
Please bring your tankard with you if you have it so we can collect on Saturday night.
Cambridge are going plastic free for this, so please bring your reusable water bottles/coffee cups.
Hopefully that should cover everything, any questions let me know, and I'll update on timings as soon as I have more information.
Thanks,
Hannah
