[Closed] Big Bike Bash Info

Will the bar be open on Friday night?

Can we pitch the tent in any of the existing camping areas or are we in a dedicated field ?

What time does it start?

gear ratio and tyre choice reccommendations would be right up some people's street 😀

Proper looking forward to it btw!

not got a ticket as i'm out friday night and will not rise till midday sat, probably
Can i buy a ticket on the day?

What time do bands start/finish

What times do the main race start and the night race?

my tent is foobar, can i sleep in the car if i have too much fun...

Pete - Bar may be open Friday if the beer has settled. It is a proper beer festival with proper beer so it has to stand. There will be wine and lager if I can persuade Luke to open up. There will also be food available, probably a big chilli.

Muke - Free camping is ion a dedicated field, the normal Avon Tyrrell sites need to be booked direct with them.

Carbon - 10am Saturday through until 4pmish Sunday

Julian - Ride what you like. It is the New Forest, not the Alps

dobo - No excuse, buy a ticket now. Bands are about 4pm until the DJ starts at 1am. Night race is probably 8pm. No tent? Better hope you get lucky 😉 Sleep in the car if you have to.

Bar open on Friday, if you have the cash i'll take it off you. So thats a yes then

nearest S&M/ladyboy bar?

there are pubs in burley village approx 5- 10 min ride.

why would you want a pub, with a beer tent on site, serving excellent local products and some from a bit further away.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
See you Friday night then!
😀

do burley village pubs serve food etc?

yes probably only to 9pm.i think we have some available on site.

DJs start at 1am? I thought this was a family oriented festival.. 😕

No comment? I'm interested to know if the camping area will be suitable for my 6 year old to sleep in, or whether the wife will have to run him home for Saturday night (she is going home anyway to see to the dog, so its no big deal). cheers.

DJs start at 1am

Relax about the DJ. I am planning on sleeping too. The main Camping is far enough away from the stage for this not to be an issue. There is the entire arena, a lake and a strip of trees blocking the noise. The avon Tyrrell camoing has a manor house and woods between it and the stage.

Sorry for any concern caused.

We are aware of the audience and will play it accordingly.

There will be food friday night. I think it is a planned to be a large chilli.

Sorted, cheers!

Wow - I thought everyone on STW would have bought there tickets by now. Loads of sales today. Keep up the good work.

please invclude me on the email. will be along to help on friday.

please sort out some lager - i'll drink enough to make it worth while. don't do ale "tastes like you milked a tree" ciders fine though.

is there veggie food?

The weather forecast is looking fairly good right now! There's the reason!
😀

See y'all Friday!

Thom - Cider and veggie. Some lager but probably tinned or bottled. It is on sale or return. Beer I have to drink everything that gets left behind. 😉

Weather is excellent for the entire weekend

The cider is good stuff, went to the cider farm to pick some up today 😀

Are there proper camping facilities? i.e flushing toilets and decent showers
or is it hell in a box?
Makes the difference for wife and kids?
Are dogs allowed?

We are taking over a 65 acres Youth Activity centre. This means that as well as the extra toilets we have in the camping area and main arena we also have their permanent facilities. This means mains powered shower. Brick built toilets. Okay, the camping is in a field but a short walk to a warm shower is better than a cold shower close by.

My wife has bought 60 toilet rolls to give out free if anyone runs out. We are paying extra to get the toilets cleaned and serviced between 4pm and 6pm on Saturday night.

Toilets seem to be REALLY important to the ladies.

Also just found out that B&B in the country house over looking the swimming pool and main arena is only £12.50 per person per night!!! That is a proper bead with proper toilets and showers in a big manor house(look at their website) with breakfast. Only £12.50 per person is an absolute steal.

I found out when MrsWCA said she was staying there and was I still camping?

Thats a point, I need to sort out some camping kit.
