The Great Escape
Over three full days and nights The Great Escape '07 hosted bands, artists, food, disco bingo, the most rocking kebab shop known to man and a swag of very satisfied music lovers. In it's second year, the festival swelled to 10,000 patrons per day - enough for a truly excellent vicbe across it's 8 venues - but not so many that you have to cue forever for food, beers and toilets. The festival is situated at Newington Armoury, a former Navy arms storage facilty. The absolute river frontage required for barges full of torpedos is perfect for an arts festival, encompassing military and industrial chic with lush rolling fields perfect for camping. Although not a Code One event, Code One agent Steve Griffiths is the festival's creative director. Plans are already afoot for The Great Escape 2008, although organizers have decided to move the festival to later in the year than its former Easter time frame. 2008's event is scheduled for October 4th and 5th.
