My 17 year-old is talking about going. I brought her and a mate to the Reading Festival two years ago and it was a river of piss. I don't know how we didn't get cataracts. Literally, there was piss everywhere, and you couldn't get away from the smell of it.

Not keen on her going to EP unless it's a whole lot more civilised, but still not keen on her camping in case the campsite is a lake of piss.

Great fest. You should go yourself. You'd enjoy it. Great food & atmosphere. Much more relaxed & mature than most fests.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

I was there 2 years ago with 2 11yr olds, a 9yr old and a 5yr old.
There's kids, beer, and all that goes with it.
You should go with her!

As far as I remember the ep is over 18s. Kids under 12 are allowed with a parent. They're pretty strict about it too. Never been myself but a mate takes the family every year.
In primary:
In secondary: Wine, Melomel
In keg: Teddy Hopper, Coconut stout, 4 Cs, Buzz bomb, Never Sierra, Bock, OD
In the fridge: Helles Lager, Hob Gob

Ive camped in the regular camp site & Ive slept in the van in the car park. There are fancier "glamping" options if you dont mind paying extra.

Yeah, no teens, I'm afraid. Great festival though. Great vibe. I think I was the pissedest there was. Dead civilised.

Go every other year. As others have said already...It's relatively civilised. She's got taste! But go too  8)

Saw Plant & Page in what was then the Point Depot many moons ago.




Have it on cd if you want it (both nights)

Nah, Zeppelin tribute bands are all rubbish in my experience. The drumming just isn't right

Sorry...I can get with that at all....his voice is all wrong, and the drums just fall flat (all 3 of them)

being to 5 EPs I think, 4 great wends and 1 not so great. plenty of good folk down there but will be a small amount of muppets and a few scummers.

at 17 she could be asked for ID and it's over 18s. plenty of smaller festivals and non camping festivals on this summer which might be a bit better.
