Another memorable experience
by LC on 20/08/2024Lulworth Castle - DorsetCB 2024 Dorset was another memorable family event. As another year passes, we took time as a family to hook up with friends and enjoy everything that CB has to offer. Kicking off with bottomless bistro, enjoying the feast collective and letting the kids have more freedom than previous years. Our experience was different this year as we found ourselves enjoying different parts of CB that weren't on our radar previously. Including visiting the library tent, taking full advantage of the sports area to name a few. The site layout changed considerably this year, some for the good but others felt a little divisive such as the craft area and the big bouncy castle moving to a less visible area on the site. There were also a few form favourites missing like the blow up church and the big top on the lower field, not to mention the wonderful Chandon Bar! We aren't anti- change but some of the adjustments weren't communicated well including the partnership with Barclaycard ending (darn it - just got one for this purpose too) and also the change of phone mast to Vodafone which meant a huge majority of us had zero signal - not great if you smugly attached an Apple tag to track your kids when they were off enjoying some 'independent' time. That bit me on the bit when my daughter got lost …. Small things, but tweaks that could have made our team even more enjoyable! Pete Tong was epic but we definitely missed Jo Wiley….. love a bit of a 90s/ naughties dance… Amy Winehouse experience was great too - missed Elvana though - please bring them back next year. Overall - great time, great fun and excellent weather - highly recommend
