How to Plan a Weekend at the End of the Road Festival

In 2006 a bloke called Simon sold his house, moved his family into rented accommodation, and set about organising the first End of the Road Festival. His sacrifices paid off as it immediately received an award for UK's best festival. Taking place in the Larmer Garden and with acts such as the Super Furry Animals and Lambchop, it certainly deserves its reputation.
