The festival, which takes place in Brockworth, has partnered with Gigaclear to connect its 70 food and drink vendors to ultrafast broadband during the event, speeding up the payment process.

Festival founder Joe Pointon said: “We are over the moon to have Gigaclear’s network providing next-generation connectivity at our festival. Being able to depend on reliable, ultrafast internet is a godsend. Plus, it future proofs the festival!”

To achieve connectivity, Gigaclear had to extend its network to the festival site. Nick Rawlings, Chief Marketing Officer at Gigaclear, said: “It is brilliant to see live events back in full force this year following the pandemic and we are delighted to be providing services to the Witcombe Festival. Our 900Mbps service, well above the national average of 50Mbps, will speed up transactions across the festival, keeping festivalgoers out of queues and instead enjoying the great live music.”
