Bluedot Festival 2022 - food and drink prices as festival gets underway in Cheshire

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The huge music, art and science festival Bluedot is back for the summer after a three year absence - with a packed lineup of entertainment. The event got underway on Thursday night with thousands heading to camp on the site, next to Jodrell Bank's stunning Lovell Telescope, ready for the weekend's schedule.

Thousands more will be heading along on individual day tickets to see the likes of Groove Armada, Mogwai, Metronomy and Bjork in the days ahead. There's also a host of top scientists delivering talks, while visitors can walk through an art trail dominated by Luke Jerram's incredible Earth sculpture as you enter the site.

Part of the fun of the festival is the huge raft of food and drink options to sample all across the site in Cheshire. This year it will also include for the first time in the VIP Village a host of Manchester's best known restaurants cooking up special treats for visitors.
