    Fairport's Cropredy Convention

    Posted by Adurman 19 June 2006

    There may be no Glastonbury this year – but rock festival devotees will find the ideal substitute in Fairport's Cropredy Convention.

    This three-day annual event caters for up to 20,000 fans. It takes place in Oxfordshire and the dates are Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 August 2006.

    Newcomers and Cropredy regulars alike enjoy a wide variety of acts: this year they include festival favourite Glen Tilbrook, folkrock legends Steeleye Span, pop maestros 10CC, and guitar virtuoso John Martyn. And, of course, there will be Fairport Convention's customary closing spot
    on the Saturday evening.

    Ticket prices start at £64 for all three days, it's great value for money – in fact, it is one of the cheapest three-day festivals of its kind. Camping is equally inexpensive and under-12s get in for free.
