Taking young children there
Tom & Sophy Newton

Amused by the ‘mural’ painting of vehicles and stalls and other spontaneous folk art.
Pimitive exotic sculpture. Musicians and clowns.
Various drumming parades – and the grandstand and the
Marquee groups and bands and gymnasts and dancers
Colin Dick

- Listening to rock band 'Tea for the wicked' and hear eco songs
- performing as a clown and musician
Chris Philpott

Finishing the first one and getting together with the reps of the previous

September 4 1976 lunchtime - It had poured with rain for days.
I looked across at all the people sitting on the grass eating lunch inside the circle of stalls.
The sun broke through (and stayed the rest of the weekend)
and I knew the Health Festival was taking off and it was good.

Sometime in the 90s when we organisers were very few in number – the muddy year.
Rain all weekend until Sunday about 4pm when the sun burst through.
Kids were playing in the mud and were completely brown monsters – wicked.
