What matters is the councillors! If their policy regarding the showground is similar to that previously adopted regarding the Quarry there should be no problem - their priority is apparently maximum usage with an eye on money coming into the town. A 'ringfenced' festival offers less to the town than an 'in-town' event but I'm not sure they would know the difference!

There is apparently a history of a few people being disturbed by noise at Quarry events - and a long time before the festival used the venue for the first time last year.
