My last work day before I start helping the set up. I know of at least one family who are guests but have turned up early already!

Please post up questions and and any advice for newbies to the event.

I will start with : NO DOGS, No worries, bring beer money and a card for the auction!

Can you turn up on the day or is it ticket only? Might ride over from Southampton if we can get in (Saturday) 🙂

Ticket only I am afraid - and sold out since about March with approximately 300 people on the 'waiting' queue.

It is frighten how successful this has got since the original Singletrack Southern Festival in my garden

I will check out what is possible. I have a spare TV in the garage so might be able to rig something up. Will look at it tomorrow

Over 1000 pints of real ale brewed in Hampshire ( some by me ).
Including beer from Flowerpots, Andwell, Flack Manor, Red Cat , Irvings , Upham and of course PURE GOLD from IVB.
