Bickershaw Festival, Wigan 40 Year Reunion TV Coverage

[@lyndafroud4215]

I lived nearby and only got to see Sunday night as the fences were down then. Two years later I met my wonderful husband at uni and he had travelled there from Derby. I had no idea at the time that so many legends were there,I obviously wasn't as clued in as he was

I was there in 72, it certainly brings back some good memories, and some not so good memories

[@bencooper1371]

I was there. Even the rain was brilliant. 😎

I wasn't there (was only 1 year old) BUT live just down the road from Bickershaw. The village itself hasn't really changed TBH and the field where the festival was held is still a mudbath if you care to venture over...

BBC archive just uploaded a great behind the scenes on this recorded at the time.

Just came here to say that very thing 😅
I can honestly say I'd never heard of the dam festival and now thanks to algorithms, twice in a week! 😂

I was there but have only vague memories of the event, can't imagine why. Do remember being soaked and cold.
