Fields of dreams

This is something we did for TLOBF last year, as both an attempt to catch hold of the ever blossoming UK festival circuit and provide a handy all-purpose one-stop shop to see what's actually available for your decreasing spending money. All prices are for one adult weekend camping ticket, price comparisons are given where they can be fairly applied, and we'll try and update as time progresses.
