The Stages - 2011

The stage itself is pretty similar to last year, but note the cool things around the side - the big daff and the flags.


2011 Mountain Stage

If you've read more of this you are going to think I'm obsessed with chairs (I am!). Look have things have changed since 2007.  In the picture above most people have plonked on a chair.  Compare this to 2007 below.  What's happened!

2007 Mountain Stage


The Walled Garden stage is now a full proper stage (but in the corner).

2011 Walled Garden

Its fun to compare that to the weird stage from 2009...
2009 Courtyard

The Far Out now has  a cool sign...
