Festival 2010 Now Ended
This year's superb festival has just finished. For news of the AGM in early Autumn and
the 2011 festival keep watching this site.
Tickets Sales
If you've ordered tickets by post and not yet received them, don't worry. We don't post out tickets after July 10th in case they don't arrive in time. Instead postal booking will be held at the box office for you.
Credit card bookings can be made until Midnight on Thursday 15th July via wegottickets - click the link in the sidebar. Sorry, we can't take credit or debit card sales at the gate (but we do know where there's a good cash machine!)
The Box Office at the Festival will be open on site from tea time on Wednesday.
Camping News
On Thursday you will be able to pitch your tents on site between 6pm and 7pm ONLY. NO camping on this night. On Friday the camping field will be open from 12 noon for eager beavers.
Camping is available for weekend ticket holders on Friday and Saturday nights. Please remember that you MUST be off site by 8pm on Sunday night.
Lots More Names for the Line Up
Whole host of extra acts announced and more still to come. See main line up on home page! Latest addition is
Tom Kitching & Gren Bartley to add to Damien Barber & John Wilson, David Gibb, The
Laughing Marys, Mexican Kids at Home, Urban Gypsies and others not found on our original flyers and
posters or in our April Friends of Stainsby newsletter. This one keeps on
getting better and better!
Stewards
There are no additional vacancies for Stewards this year - our regulars are very reliable! If the opportunity to join the team come up again in the future, we'll let you know here on the website.
The Stainsby Flyer Rides Again
Timetable for the free Festival bus is now up on the How to Find Us page
More Names for the Line Up
New additions to the 2010 line up: Martha Tilston, daughter of
Steve, whose acclaimed new album Lucy and the Wolves is just out. Get to
hear it live this July at Stainsby. Where else?
AND
Following the success of stand up poet Marvin Cheeseman, we've got another poet popping up at various times over
the weekend in Liv Torc. Liv is a stand-up poet, wondermentalist and
comedian, and the Bard of Exeter. She's a favourite of the former Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, and a heat winner
of the Radio 4's National Poetry Slam! - Some combination.
Never Mind the Length Feel the Width
The festival this year will run longer into each evening on Friday and Saturday (hooray!), with more late night events (hooray again!) but will finish earlier on Sunday at 6pm. There'll be the same great acts and music there's always been - but compressed into a slightly shorter time. It also means that public camping will close at 8pm on the Sunday.
Important Changes to Child Tickets
After lots of soul seaching we've reluctantly decided that we're going to have to change our policy on the age at
which children come in free. From 2010 children under 12 will still be free accompanied by a paying adult. Children
from 12 to 17 will be on a new youth ticket at £15 per session or at a new introductory rate of only
£20 the full weekend. This new weekend rate is to ease the blow for families who used to get older
children in for free in previous years. At least 16 and 17 year olds will be pleased that they don't have to
pay the full rate any longer (although the downside of course is that they won't get served in the bar). To
compensate we plan to cater better for this age group. More news on this soon.
