been to a couple of these, as the place is only a 45 min drive from here.
very much a one stage festival thing - as well as the stage you've got the usual ring of food vendors round the outside, few fairground rides in the corner, deckchairs and picnic blankets up at the back for families and such.
stage is at the bottom of a hill, so good views all the way to the back. the field is wide, and yes, there are a good number of families and casual music fans there just looking for an afternoon / evening of music - which means there's not too a heavy rush to the front of the stage, you can casually walk down the side and ease yourself in along the length of the barrier. even with the headliner on we've never had a problem just strolling in and out of the front of the crowd. sound's always been decent too.
probably the biggest problem is as mentioned above - queue for the car park, especially exiting at the end of the night. it's a one track path that winds through the neighbour's farm, so not only do you get maybe an hour's wait until you can actually move your car, you've also got maybe another half hour filtering down the farm track to join the main road.
