2007 saw the 'podpads' travelling to more Festivals than ever before, including mainland Europe for the first time. 2007 was also the Summer of Mud and a test to any festival-goer's stamina and resolve. However, those guests who stayed with 'podpads' remained dry, warm and secure through some of the harshest conditions.
Check out our Feedback page for some of their comments.
Below is a list of the Festivals where the 'podpads' appeared in 2007 and, in most cases we were fully booked out in advance so, if you feel 'podpads' is the way forward for you in 2008 then the word is "Book Early to Avoid Disappointment". We anticipate returning to all the gigs below and more so, CONTACT US via the CONTACT US page and remember to mention your chosen Festie and, we will contact you as soon as 'podpads' become available to book online.
Check out our new 'bellepad' to be available at selected Festivals, catering for families and groups of friends wishing to share space at a reasonable cost between 4 people. For more info, go to our "what is a 'podpad" page and scroll down to "what is a 'bellepad".
We look forward to hearing from you and perhaps, meeting you in the Summer of Sun ~ 2008.
