Revellers asked not to drive to Camel Rock

Organisers have asked islanders not to drive to Camel Rock. The two day festival begins on Saturday. In previous years the local police have given up their time to help direct traffic around Porth Hellick. A bus will be running every hour from 1pm.

Paul Lewis who is in charge asked Radio Scilly listeners also not to bring dogs to the event because of problems at previous festivals.

Local bands playing at this year’s Camel Rock are the Steam Band, Chocolate Starfish, Roadrunner and Noxious. It is ?6 to get in on Saturday and ?8 on Sunday.
