We aimed to explore as much as we could of the festival today, as it’s our full day off, and we’d like to get to know where everything is. Unfortunately, the morning was disrupted by some heavy rain, so we didn’t spend as much time in the arena as we’d hoped! We felt sorry for the ticket holders who were all putting up their tents despite the weather!
However, by 3pm, the rain had cleared and we went to watch the opening ceremony in the Meadow. Everyone could throw ash into the fire from the fires of previous Shambala festivals, whilst making a wish for the future! They also encouraged people to share a poem or a song with the group, which a few people did.
After the opening ceremony finished, we continued to find our way around and had a look at the different timetables for various stages. At this point during every festival we have worked at this summer, I always start to get a bit nervous about our shifts and feel a bit down. This feeling soon went though when we looked around The Worst Record Covers In The World - an exhibition displaying a collection of . Everyone visited the tent got to pick their top three worst album covers! It was great fun and something different to spend half an hour looking at.
There are so many different venues at Shambala - so much to explore! We spent some of the evening sitting in Roots Corner, listening to some of the music, before listening to a sing-a-long round the campfire!
Tomorrow, we start our shift at 23.45. We’ll probably have to try and get a few hours rest at one point, but at least we can take part in most of the day entertainment and workshops! It’s a really fun and friendly festival, I’m so pleased we are here!!
