Salisbury Gets a Festival Find these four places on the local OS map and for each describe their site and situation. Remember what site and situation are?
Site = the features and characteristics of the actual point at which the settlement (or festival!) is located • Situation = refers to the location of the settlement (or festival!) in relation to its surroundings – things like communications, other settlements, rivers, relief
During this lesson, you are in charge of planning a brand new music festival in the Salisbury area of Wiltshire. • Your first task is to choose a suitable location for the festival site. • Look closely at your OS map.
Choosing your Site • Which one do you think would be the best site for a festival? • You need to consider the following factors: • Accessibility • Land-use • Relief • Proximity to urban areas • Flood risk (if possible) • Justify why your chosen site is the most appropriate for your festival. (As long as you do this in a sound Geographical manner the site you chose is irrelevant.)
Festival Planning For this activity, you will be working on your own and you will be planning your own festival! • This instruction sheet will help you with your planning. It has three activities for your group to complete, which you should divide up between you. The three tasks are: • Getting here: write instructions for travelling to the festival site. • Going green: write a ‘Green Action Plan' for your festival to ensure it is sustainable. • What to see and do: find out what there is to see and do in the local area. • More details for these tasks are given on the instruction sheet. • In addition, your work will be better if you produce a flood risk map for your festival site using the Environment Agency Website.
