We are building up to a taking the van to a music festival one day but in the meantime this is the next best thing!

We had booked tickets to see Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott perform at Thetford Forest. Following links on the Forestry Commission website we found a nearby campsite that also provided transport to and from the concert site – ideal!

Little Lodge Farm is normally a Caravan Club CL with additional holiday cottages for hire. They have extensive facilities for horses and specialise  in holidays for horse owners who don’t want to leave their horses behind!  During the annual concerts at Thetford however they open up two additional fields, one for tents, one for motorhomes/caravans. Throughout the early evening a coach shuttle is provided which takes you to the concert drop-off point and after the music has finished you are collected from the same point.

This was the first time we had used the van ‘off-grid’ but it coped very well – who needs EHU when you’ve got solar panels?  It was also quite pleasant to open the blinds in the morning and find horses trotting past the window.

It all worked very smoothly and we’d recommend the set-up to anyone who plans to go to the concert – no worry about drinking or the long drive home.

Needless to say Paul & Jacqui were fantastic. We would certainly return and are waiting to see who will be appearing at the concerts next year.
