Towersey Family Campsite or Site 1 – Please Have Your Say

I have been attending Towersey Village Festival since the 2nd, in 1966 and have camped in people’s gardens, on the Playing Field and as soon as it became available; moved with my family and caravan to Site 2, where we now enjoy a very quiet spot with the sounds of the Festival and a rather vocal cockerel all around us.

The 2007 and 2008 festivals brought us lots of people, especially those with families, asking us to make more room for family camping on Site 1.  They had ended up on Site 2.  One reason was ‘we had to walk with our children each morning from the far side of Site 2 to get to the Children’s Festival, sometimes arrived a bit late and couldn’t always get into what we wanted.  Site 1 was full’.  Another quote from campers on Site 1 was ‘could you discourage noisy teenagers from camping on Site 1, we like it to be a quiet site’ and another; ‘we camp on Site 2 to get away from Festival noise, but last year we were surrounded by people with children, waking up very early in the morning.  Could they not all camp on Site 1’ and there were many more like this; and so we thought very long and carefully about making the change and turning Site 1 into a family campsite, where only those with children’s bookings would be able to camp there.  We certainly did consider large family groups, baby sitters and many more issues. 

This of course has given rise to the alternative point of view, which is very valid.  ‘We camp with our family and friends on Site 1 so that we have on site babysitters’; ‘we have always camped on Site 1 because it is near to the Concert and Ceilidh Tent, which makes our Towersey very special’ and many more in support of not changing the designation. It is your Festival, you are the customers, I would like to offer the opportunity to you to talk to us and help us make the decision.  So, send us your emails now, give us your thoughts and tell us whether you want Site 1 left as it is, changed into a people with children only Site, or something else.  We will have a good look at all those and make the decision.  But you do have to move rather quickly.  We will be going on sale in mid January.  We need to hear from you no later than Friday 9th January.

We look forward to seeing you all at Towersey, camping, hopefully, where you want to be.
 

Best Wishes and a Happy Christmas to all of you.

 

Steve Heap, Festival Director

Give us you thoughts.....



Don’t be the one that missed the 45th Towersey Village Festival, you’ll have nothing to talk about next Christmas.
