This weekend I’m going to the 2000Trees music festival with my son and his friends. The event is a local Gloucestershire based festival just outside Cheltenham and features local bands such as ‘The Futureheads’ and ’Pulled Apart By Horses’. After the weather last weekend I’m hoping that next weekend will be a lot nicer – Dry at least!
The festival started in 2007 with only 1,000 people and has now grown to welcome 4,500 festival goers and won ‘the Grass Roots Festival Award’ for 2010 as well as 2nd in the best toilets category!
The event spans Friday to Sunday with the eager ones amongst us purchasing ‘early bird tickets’ allowing early entrance on Thursday. The event promises to be fun filled with bands, silent discos, sheep dog trials, fancy dress competitions and much more to look forward to. So I’ll be bracing the campsite whatever the weather and throwing myself into the festival spirit!
