Please note everyone:
There are travellers in the local area to the park, and they have had to put security on the gate, please MAKE SURE you have your camping pass.
The will be a talk on Cody kites on Saturday evening within a room of the castle, I believe the room is currently also a set for Davinci's Demons

Normal staff will be on during the day, and security staff after they shut. Any problems on the gate, and security will call Lindsay, so no worries

The comments from the locals is a bit scary hope it survives for next year. Unfortunately the organisers at Margam suffered from a perfect storm good weather, a hugely popular event which attracted an unprecedented number of visitors, social media which allows a vocal minority to have a disproportionate effect with their negative views and news media which loves to hype a negative story. Also a lot of the negative comments about there being nothing to do in the Park are obviously from people who have never been to Margam Park and never read the literature which stated what was on offer.

I'd guess a lot of people presume a "park" is a theme park. Their moans say a lot more about them than it does about the event!

Great Festival as always, even with some negative comments. Many thanks to LINDSAY DAVIES for all his hard work and to the catering crew for a great Friday night meal.
