“A vintage gathering in idyllic surroundings with extraordinary music, great food, nice people, reasonably-priced booze and perfect weather.”
“There was a complete spread of age ranges, from exuberant teenagers to extremely white-haired old guard hippos, all getting something out of it, and getting along.”
“With around 40,000 in attendance it's a popular event that is very family friendly, but it never feels cramped or too busy.”
