Last night Emma and I went into Dunstable to pick up a takeaway and found so many cars and people around the town. There were hundreds of cars driving around and queueing to get into the White Lion Retail Park, to the point that the local police had to close off the road completely. This then caused all the cars that were trying to get in to turn around and head back out of the town towards the motorway, with cars darting in between each other. The reason for all the cars was apparently due to an organised cruise, where hundreds of people from all over the county/country headed into Dunstable to meet up.
When we finally got through all of this to the takeaway, there were just as many people on foot heading to the bandstand in Grove House Gardens. It turns out there was a live rock festival taking place there, which I was completely unaware of. The music could be heard across most of the town, as far away as the Luton border to the East. It looked like it was a good show, but unfortunately I wasn't able to stop and watch it.
