It's what you've all been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen! ;D A two-day festival this year! What a treat!
Here it is: www.creationbooth.co.uk/riversidefestival/
For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, the Riverside Festival is essentially a music festival although it also includes a beer festival (40 real ales and 20 real ciders this year) held on the first Saturday in July every year in Stamford, Lincs. The Riverside is the traditional Tinpot summer outing, and I've been myself every year since 2004, along with a selection of tinpot footy friends.
This year is the Riverside's 10th anniversary, and to celebrate this they are running it for the whole weekend instead of just the Saturday, with a load of extra stuff including a "multi-media marquee" and a special Riverside Festival ale brewed by Newby Wyke (see website).
If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. If you have, I still highly recommend it, but you know that already. The town is charming, picturesque and full of nice pubs; the festival is a wonderful day out. It's "free" although they do expect donations on entry as the organisers have had trouble getting enough cash together to run it in recent years.
Do check out the website for details of bands that will be playing this year: this will be more detailed nearer the time.
Right - who's in? I'M IN. Both days! If you want to join in and require accommodation, please post your reply on this thread before Monday 31st May.
