The local council runs an annual music festival. It’s a bit of hit and miss as it’s mainly local bands looking for some stage time and to try and get recognised. I once went and saw a teenage boy on an acoustic guitar wailing on about getting wasted. Over the years it has got better, with the edition of a second stage to keep the music going; a fairground, and even a community rave tent along with festival bars and food to accompany the event. One year we even had fireworks and Republica as the closing act; though I had to work late that night. The reaction is always a bit divided. Some residents always complain about the noise it makes; while others say it’s not ambitious enough. But the best bit is that it’s always free. After the festival is finished, we wander through the woods which brings us out to a local pub for a pint.
