Festival goers shocked by thing

Sat Aug 15, 2026 12:22 pm

Travellers, youth and all-aged party animals attending this year's 'Festipark', the annual sub-cultural celebration of all things 'off-the-beaten-track', were apparently shocked by the thing that they least expected, unsurprised by the things they were warned about and simultaneously aroused and slightly dismayed by the repeated touching of parts by festival organisers.

Held each year in the North Wood, 'Festipark' attracts all sorts - from daft young hippychicks with no sense of decency, to little old men covered in plaster of paris - and this year's crowd certainly proved to be a few liqourices short of a packet.

Guided into the Wood by grateful volunteers, casually dismissing the threatening heads on stakes that lined the pathway, partygoers soon experienced the unique sensation of being ground in a giant mincing machine and made into burgers.
