FAQs

What is it?

We’re having a festival-themed shindig in the Suffolk countryside to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We’ve hired a meadow and invited a load of our friends. The plan is simple: pitch some tents and have a party.

Kids are very much welcome. There will be ~20 of them running around. We will do as much as we can to tire them out by day, so we can relax by night.

Where is it?

The “off-grid, five-acre meadow” doesn’t have an address but can be found here: 52°13'38.7"N 0°52'07.9"E. It’s near the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, which is off the A14 between Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket. While it’s pretty remote and off-grid, it’s also a 7-minute drive to a Starbucks and a Greggs for those who want the full glamping experience and/or to avoid the campsite toilets.

What do I need to bring?

Everything you need to survive the Anglian wilderness. A tent, campervan, or similar is essential. Other than that, bring what you need to be comfortable. We will sort out dinner on Friday (BBQ), breakfast on Saturday morning, a Hog Roast on Saturday evening, and breakfast on Sunday. Please bring other snacks and as much booze/mixers as you can.

There is no power or running water (though drinking water is provided), so bring battery packs, torches and alike. And please bring any decorations that you feel will add to the festival-chic aesthetic.

What facilities are on site?

Not much. There is parking on site. There is a lake. There is a long-drop toilet. No power. No running water.

What do I do if I have more questions?

Ideally ask Holly. Else, ask Jack.
