Just a thought for those travelling to Witchfest by train from London Bridge, there are cancellations, worth checking before you set out!

While sitting in here, I didn't have to stand up every time somebody needed to get by, and from where I was sitting at least, the acoustics were great. I think the music really did a great job of filling up the space.
