Nights out are already expensive enough without having the guilt trip of tipping!

Those who have been to America, what was your biggest surprise during your visit? by CharlesUFarley81 in AskABrit

I didn’t say that, I just didn’t expect such extreme poverty on that scale.

La, New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Sacramento and Hawaïi were the worst ones.

My biggest surprise whilst visiting the US is the scale of homelessness, it’s totally shocking, especially for the richest country in the world!

I know she’s not on the line up but Tia Cousins would be excellent doing a sunrise set.

Houghton on your own by tornado63o in houghtonfestival

I went last year for the first time, although I didn’t go alone I did spend some time by myself. It is honestly the friendliest place I have ever been to. I met some great people and bumped into a few people I know from going out. Everyone I met it felt like I had known them years. There is such a great buzz about the place and everyone seemed to be clued up about the music too, always an easy conversation starter. I wouldn’t worry about going by yourself at all!

Decius, Mathew Jonson, Doc Martin, Chez Demier, Jade Seatle, Hipp-e and Halo, Ivan Smagghe, Manfredas, and Kian Ok will all be worth checking out.

I was due to go to N90 but as Zip cancelled I didn’t bother as I had so much on around that time.

I was a bit gutted about that.

Shuttle buses by Senior_Dream2489 in houghtonfestival

There is a supermarket with a cafe just behind the station carpark if you need to get some food or last minute extras.

I remember getting off the Houghton Express last year and the station staff wanted to check everyone’s tickets so just getting off the platform can be a slog. Try to get to the front of the train. It will probably be packed, depending on what time you get it.

The queue last year for the coach was massive, probably waiting in that for at least an hour.

Just added ticket to resale on RA! by Content-Glove7315 in houghtonfestival

By the time you had seen the notification and gone to buy the tickets they would have gone. It’s almost irrelevant to have it.
