In just 7 days the UK festival awards close their voting for another year. The event, which is dubbed The Oscars of the festival World, rewards some of the UK’s best festivals for all their hard work.

We have been nominated for 2 awards, Best Small Festival and Best Grassroots Festival in the UK, which is very exciting, particularly as we are the only festival in Essex to have been nominated.

The next stage is to be voted by our visitors in order to go to the judges vote. So we thought we might just take a few minutes to remind you of the fun you had. Here are 5 reasons to vote for us.

1. A Good Shed full of superstar DJs all close enough to cuddle. DJ EZ in action.

2. It was our birthday and who else has a giant cake

2. The Treehouse Stage. Pull up a giant birdsnest and listen to some of the best bands in town. Not your average Sunday afternoon!

4. A burger eating competition with a homegrown burger. Who got the russian roulette chilli bomb?!

5. And of course, YOU LOT. The best crowd in all the festival land.

VOTE FOR US HERE before the 27th October
