Hello!
As a resident near Strathallan Estate, Auchterarder, I wanted to offer a letter of support for Strathallan Estate and
MugStock for the festival planned in August this year
Having been directly impacted by T in the Park (our road was used for traffic coming into the estate across the whole
festival) - MugStock and their festival plans have been a breath of fresh air
From the moment of contacting them, they have been listening and giving us as much information as they have
available to answer questions but have also given us a huge amount of confidence on the type of festival being
planned and more importantly to us (and many other local residents), I can see this is a totally different type of
festival, certainly being more inclusive to everyone, its targeted age group and particularly its size and scale (T in the
Park >75k attendance v’s MugStock £5k )
I have been very impressed with the care and thought around ensuring this is a festival open to everyone of all ages
and the dog too – a full family day out. Their transparency on their website, giving information on timescales for set
up but also what to expect over the weekend itself – even to say that music volume will be reduced  after 11pm until
1am close – its very much appreciated 
As a local resident and business owner (Farm and Livery) I have been impressed with their visibility too (personally
visiting local residents) to ensure everyone has a chance to share their concerns or queries. I am very appreciative of
the level of care they have shown to listen and work with us, and the local community, to protect our countryside
and, ensure we all feel safe and at ease with the event and that we know what we can expect. 
This looks to be a fabulously inclusive event being held on a beautiful estate and one I am very happy to give you
this email in support of Strathallan Estate and MugStock to hold the festival in August. I very much look forward to
attending with family and friends and seeing the wider communities support the event too
Many thanks
