The solar rises warmly over a buzzing morning campsite. Not but spent by the inevitable trials and tribulations of a full competition weekend, campers and new arrivals are prepared and raring to tackle the day forward, fuelling up on espresso as they roam the idyllic Larmer Tree Gardens (whaddup, peacocks?).
Friday’s lineup at Finish of the Highway is stable sufficient to justify a back-to-back stage schedule.

Much less grounded within the elusive (and infrequently creepy) psychic realm, their strategy encourages a extra introspective form of storytelling. “What would possibly these playing cards counsel of your previous, current and future?”, they ask a gathering of curious minds, “And the way can we use our interpretations to encourage our progress?”.
