I must admit it was a lot quieter than I had thought it would be. Plus the mead was lovely.

I simply couldn't afford the travel from Scotland at over £200 before accommodation and spending money. If they held it centrally (eg Manchester) they would get more people attending.

After searching for an affordable alternative we found a caravan site in Worthing. Then my husband started a new job which meant we couldn't travel down to Brighton on the Friday after work as it just wasn't feasible. Hopefully they will resume somewhere else.Awelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254576634300056256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152532055090335650.post-11335737943177503922017-10-08T17:37:15.900+01:002017-10-08T17:37:15.900+01:00I hope CoA returns to Croydon or another London ve...I hope CoA returns to Croydon or another London venue too! <br /><br />Tasty Bite Blogger: I believe CoA will still be running its regular camping event in the summer - the Artemis Gathering - which is essentially rather the kind of thing you are talking about.

I must confess it being in Brighton did put me off going (i've been to most of the Croydon ones) I noticed pre-book ticket sales sold out so maybe people didn't want to travel down in what was awful weather to find they might not be able to get in. If people have already committed themselves to the ticket they would be more likely to go that getting them to make the decision on the day. I think it's very sad there will be no Witchfest 2018 but I do hope they will resume bigger and better when Fairfield Halls reopens Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152532055090335650.post-57046261130125999792017-10-08T15:19:54.418+01:002017-10-08T15:19:54.418+01:00We did give Witchfest a miss this year due to the ...We did give Witchfest a miss this year due to the costs of getting to Brighton,hotels,parking ect.Why not plan a open air Summer event,with stalls,camping talks ect a bit like Pagan Pride does in Nottingham,perhaps over a weekend ,naturally the weather would play a key part,but this may keep down costs of hiring a venue,security ect have large marques for talks or hold them under a tree ect it would be great ! Just an idea.
