Astonbury 2022

[matticus]

I chuckled at a sign for this in a local village called "Aston xyz". I thought that's quite funny, it will be a tiny event, won't upset the Glastonbury people, surprised no-one's had that idea before ...

Now I've googled it, I find about a zillion "Aston"s round the country have had the same idea! Is there one near you??

I live in a town called Deri. We used to have Glastonderi every year - untill the p*ss heads from the nearby towns spoiled it for everyone else

I particularly liked it, as it was below and opposite my house, so I didn't even have to leave my deckchair, let alone pay to go

Not an Aston but we have had a Glassonbury festival at Glasson Dock a few times.

Not seen any Glastonbury ones but Loads of small festivals call themselves
Wherever-Stock. After Woodstock.
it’s taken on a generic meaning for festival.

This is worse if you live close to Woodstock.

Almost on topic, we have Wood Henge in a nearby country park.

While the crowds were at "T in the Park", a local pub did a festival they called "T in the Car Park"

The town of Dorking, already a placename of much mirth to those from down under, has an annual music festival.
Can you guess the name?

There’s a mini Stonehenge, at Ilton (near Masham) in North Yorkshire
It’s not an exact replica, & was built as a folly
