First rule: arrive early for the “Piano Room” stage. It’s where the magic happens—artists stripped down to just a piano and their crippling self-doubt. It’s beautiful.
Second rule: bring layers. British park festivals are famous for serving up “four seasons in one afternoon.” One moment you’re sunbathing, the next you’re in a windbreaker eating a rain-soaked burger. Embrace it.
Third rule: don’t bother with a schedule. Just wander. You’ll end up watching a folk band from Birmingham that you’ve never heard of, and it will be the highlight of your weekend. That’s the Radio 2 way.
