Geeknbury Festival 2010 is a go!
The Geeknbury festival is an outdoor event with no fixed abode. For the past couple of years though, at the invite of Rebecca Caroe and family, it has existed like a ‘plug-in’ to the legendary Vann Fest. Vann fest has been going as a private party/festival for a long time now and 2010 will sadly be it’s last year.
This year’s Vann Fest is set for the weekend of the 30th of July but those attending Geeknbury can set up camp on the 29th as long as you have your ticket and are willing to help out the setting up on the Friday morning.
As well as geeks, we are still looking for bands, activities, events and inspiration. If you think you can help out in this department please contact either myself @Documentally or @RebeccaCaroe
It is a family (and geek) friendly festival with basic wifi and openings for all suggestions of the creative kind.
Tickets are £60 for adults and £25 for all kids over 4 years old. (Under 4’s are free)
For this you get entry for the festival, camping, access to all the music amenities and activities and a certain amount of food and beer (Saturday night dinner, beer/cider/soft drinks and Sunday morning bacon butties plus tea and coffee.) Not to mention the good times, connections made and great memories to take away.
