Rhythm Festival

Rhythm Festival

03 August 2007 - 05 August 2007
Twinwood Arena
Clapham Near Bedford MK41 6AB UK

The second Rhythm Festival will be held on August 3rd-5th, 2007, at Twinwood Arena, Clapham, Near Bedford. Capacity is limited to 5,000.
First acts confirmed are: THE LEVELLERS, JOHN MARTYN BAND and PRINCE BUSTER with plenty more still to come (including more headline acts).
The festival site is almost perfect. The large, covered purpose-built stage faces a grassy man-made bowl set in beautiful countryside and with the oaks of Twinwood Forest at the rear. There are views over Bedfordshire, purpose-built toilets and showers. At the moment it is used only for the Glenn Miller Festival and the odd joust. The site contains the control tower of Twinwood Airfield, from which Glenn Miller took off for his final journey in 1944, and is dotted with restored RAF buildings, housing such as the National Fire Engine Museum and (of course) the Glenn Miller Museum.
We are aiming for a quality festival, with two stages and upmarket food and drink. The beers will come from Charles Wells Bedford brewery and all bars will heavily feature their real ales. The number of food and retail outlets will be strictly regulated and will exclude all rip-off merchants and cheapo hot dog/burger vans.
There will be a Therapy Zone showcasing alternative therapies and suchlike, a more extensive children's area than last year and a solar-powered cinema.

Advance adult weekend tickets are now on sale priced £80.00, with reductions for under-18s and a chld (under 11) goes free with every adult ticket-buyer. Camping is £20 per tent-space, £30 per camper-van.
