title Maui Waui Festival, Hill Farm, Gressenhall, Norfolk - 28th August 2021 intro Isobel sorts out some tickets to Maui Waui festival, which this year has moved to Hill Farm in Gressenham, near Dereham, west of Norwich. Along with the change of venue is an increase in size, with some 5,000 people in attendance, which still makes it much smaller than Latitude's 35,000. There's a good range of crafty things on offer - Nosher and Fred even sign up to do a spoon carving workshop - and there are several tents with music, although sometimes they struggle to play over the constant bass beats emmanating from the hardcore dance tents in the Outer Limits and Section 63. imgc7996 The road to Thornham gets some Autumnal hints imgc8000 Round bales in a field near Braiseworth imgc8003 Allyson pokes around in a barbeque imgc8004 Tent city in the quiet camping area imgc8006 The path to the festival imgc8009 Harry runs around with a green hat on imgc8011 Bubble action imgc8013 Children chase bubbles around imgc8015 A UFO DJ station in the Outer Limits imgc8019 The next day doesn't start well, weather wise imgc8034 The boys make long bubbles imgc8038 Isobel joins in imgc8045 Harry makes a huge bubble imgc8055 A spoon carver sets up imgc8056 Fred and Harry are on the rifle range imgc8058 Fred lines up for a shot imgc8060 Isobel picks up some free wellies imgc8063 Some festival music starts imgc8066 Time for a drink imgc8068 Harry and Isobel imgc8072 Emma O'Reilly plays keyboards imgc8081 Emma O'Reilly and band sing in Irish imgc8083 Fred tries on a Chinese shirt imgc8085 Fred looks at novelty bikes imgc8092 Vibe City Brass Band do a sound check imgc8095 Nosher and Fred sign up to do spoon carving imgc8097 Fred uses a draw knife to shave down a handle imgc8100 A selfie of the shrunken head workshop imgc8101 Fred learns some carving techniques imgc8103 Someone takes their cat for a walk imgc8107 The Maui Waui Flavour Parlour imgc8109 Isobel's got a beer imgc8114 More music in action imgc8125 Isobel gets face-painted imgc8129 Double-bass action from Horse Puppets imgc8138 A paint fight breaks out imgc8143 Paint Pixies are setting up a mass paint fight imgc8146 Fred gets some green paint imgc8148 Fred's ready imgc8150 Clouds of paint explode imgc8152 Blue paint everywhere imgc8156 A dude in a tutu imgc8160 Blue Man imgc8163 After the paint fight imgc8166 Fred after the melée imgc8177 A post-paint-fight group photo imgc8178 An explosion in a paint factory imgc8179 Announcement from a Paint Pixie imgc8190 We find a frog roaming around and rescue it imgc8197 The boys in the awning pod imgc8198 Allyson and Isobel have a late-evening drink imgc8205 The boys meet Penny from Diss imgc8209 There's some comedy science in the circus tent imgc8226 Handstand on stacked chairs imgc8228 A dude balances on a ladder imgc8230 There's a bit of Burlesque later on imgc8235 The festival at night imgc8254 Fred waves a glowstick around imgc8258 A dragonfly on a towel imgc8265 Harry queues up for some pasta imgc8266 It's sort-of lunchtime imgc8273 The Rye Sisters play in the café tent imgc8276 A band photo of the Rye Sisters imgc8280 Sparkly gold dress imgc8284 An impressive suit imgc8288 Hut People perform on the main stage imgc8301 Hut People's percussionist imgc8303 More festival get-ups imgc8304 Harry plays piano imgc8306 Giant statues, like Bladerunner 2059 imgc8308 Allyson and Pete have been face-painted imgc8313 More music in the Flavour Parlour imgc8315 Harry and Isobel do Table Football imgc8320 Harry looks on imgc8327 We bump into Amandines Sue imgc8330 The Outer Limits DJ booth is a transformer imgc8331 Harry's not impressed with the noice imgc8336 A puppet Velociraptor imgc8344 Harry leaps after bubbles imgc8351 Harry's locked and loaded imgc8355 Dan the Hat does his thing imgc8358 Dan the Hat juggles five balls imgc8365 The Donnie Darko rabbit waits for paint imgc8370 Purple paint is loaded up imgc8376 Pink paint everywhere imgc8377 Yellow paint and green hair imgc8388 Yellow and purple paint in a pot imgc8397 William Wallace is ready imgc8398 The paint fight starts imgc8400 The paint flies imgc8404 Well covered in powder imgc8409 Emerging from the dust imgc8414 A top up for a second round imgc8422 Fred emerges, fairly unscathed imgc8426 Some crazy paint fighters imgc8430 A third round explodes imgc8437 Fred's got a bit more paint on now imgc8444 Another post-paint group photo imgc8453 A girl shouts as some spiky punks walk past imgc8454 Some children ask if there's any more imgc8455 Hank Wangford in action imgc8457 The boys get milkshakes imgc8461 A break-out music session in the beer tent imgc8467 Cabarat take to the stage in the Flavour Parlour imgc8477 Allyson and Pete dance around imgc8491 Traditional music action imgc8496 Harry's found the way in to the picture wall imgc8499 Harry runs around imgc8514 Dave Thomas plays some blues imgc8522 Funky LED shades imgc8524 Outdoor café imgc8529 A bit of juggling in the circus tent imgc8542 Tightrope whilst playing the violin imgc8545 Lights reflect from the bottom of the clouds
