Cloudspotting Festival 2013

As music acts jostle for position across the various stages of the ever-growing modern UK music festival, the little known Cloudspotting – more bijou than boutique – opts for a policy of ‘less is more’ in its pursuit of a summer weekend retreat of fine leftfield sounds and good company.

Cloudspotting is set in splendid isolation in the middle of a forest. The site, managed by the Forestry Commission, is set around a 16th century farmhouse, with a courtyard, playground and a large field wrapped around it, creating an ideal and spacious campground.

The main stage is located at the foot of this field, with the second stage enclosed in a walled area beside the courtyard. Everything is a short walk from each other and the two main stages are scheduled so they don’t clash. This not only avoids sound-clash but also means that attendees can catch all the outdoor action.
