4:59 pm	Fairports Cropredy Convention 'BEST EVER' FAIRPORT'S CROPREDY CONVENTION IS 2006's LEADING THREE-DAY FESTIVAL "A great way to while away an August weekend": The Sunday Times There may be no Glastonbury this year - but rock festival devotees will find the ideal substitute in Fairport's Cropredy Convention. The 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 will be delighted by this year's line-up of acts, described by the organisers as the 'best ever'. As well as Fairport Convention's customary closing spot on the Saturday evening there will be a wide range of live music including festival favourite Glen Tilbrook, folkrock legends Steeleye Span, pop maestros 10CC, and guitar virtuoso John Martyn. "We had a great year in 2005, one of the best in the event's 25-year history," says Fairport guitarist and singer Simon Nicol, one of the event's organisers. "This year, we are building on that success with an even more eclectic selection of acts and even better facilities for our visitors." With ticket prices starting at just £64 for all three days, Fairport's Cropredy Convention offers great value for money - in fact, it is one of the cheapest three-day festivals of its kind. But it pays to buy in advance; there is a substantial discount for early booking. What's more, camping is equally inexpensive and under-12s get in for free. Fairport's Cropredy Convention occupies a long-established riverside site spanning nine fields on the outskirts of Cropredy village, five miles north of Banbury. The site is a few minutes from Junction 11 on the M40 motorway and public transport links are excellent - there is a frequent dedicated bus service from Banbury station, served by trains from London, Birmingham and most parts of the UK. As usual, village residents and the local authority are looking forward to the event as much as the audience. "The local council is very supportive and is proud of the tradition that has grown on their patch," says Nicol. "In part, this is because of the festival's great reputation as a peaceful, family-friendly event." (Comment on this)
