Set in Delamont Park near Strangford Lough (the sound blasted loud and clear down by the Lough according to people who were there), Willowstone has a nice intimate little setting, a Walled Garden, an art areas (throwing paint is very therapeutic) and a stage shaped like a castle!
It is a really great place for a festival, and this year really built on the success of the first year with great local acts like Panama Kings and Cashier No. 9, and local heros the Answer headlining. The tickets are reasonably priced, with £32 for a nights camping very reasonable!
There is a nice relaxed and unpretentious vibe; everyone is here to have a good time together, not to pose and cause trouble!
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you all to practice safe sun while festivaling- wear sunscreen and a hat, enjoy the shade and drink water! As for the other safety tips for visits, adhere to the wise words of the famous Tim Westwood- strap it up before you slap it up! read more
