It was the end of July and the end of another school year. The 40th Glastonbury passed us by and we waited in anticipation for Reading and V. Yes we’d had the excellent Festival Too but what about a local music event with a proper festival feel. I give you WATSTOCK west Norfolk’s very own mini music festival. July 24th and 25th saw the young and old descend upon our lovely village of Watlington on foot, by car and many taking the opportunity to make British Rail their designated driver!

Once again, we are pleased to report that the year long organisation and preparation for the Watstock Festival has paid off. We were lucky enough to enjoy fabulous weather both days which made for a very busy Saturday, and a rather more laid back chilled out Sunday afternoon, but all in all it made it an ideal day out for over 5000 people during the weekend, enjoying not only music, but fairground attractions, good food, and a variety of craft stalls.
