MicroBurn 2017

15/09/2017 @ 2:00 pm - 17/09/2017 @ 12:00 pm

£85

The MicroBurn is a not-for-profit event born in the North West of England and is inspired by our experiences at Burning Man and other related events. The event is organised by members of our nationwide Burner Community and it will again be hosted on a beautiful family-owned eco farm in Powys, Mid-Wales.

You are invited to join us in co-creating something magical in the Welsh hills. We’re super excited to be presenting further opportunities for Burners and those interested in the culture to gather, create, dance, hug, laugh, sing and dance some more.

Of course, this is a BURN EVENT – which means we’re here to practice the principles of Burning Man (“Say what?” you say? Here: http://microburn.org/core-principles) so most importantly for us that means:

1) YOU are the event. What you bring is what you get. Bring your art. Bring your style. Bring your love and share it around. Participation is the name of the game and YOU ARE IT. We are a fully functioning event and there are many tasks to be completed so that the wheels don’t fall off. Wanna do something? Get involved!

2) This is a LEAVE NO TRACE event. Everything you bring, you take it back with you. If you see trash or something that’s out of place lying around, pick it up and put it where it belongs. Let’s leave the farm as shiny and delightful as we find it. We LOVE the Farm and if something is going to damage the environment there, please don’t bring it.

3) EVERYONE pays for a ticket. Including the organisers. This is because we are not a commercial event. Everyone is a volunteer – no one profits from The MicroBurn. Every single penny that’s paid by you goes into the event and the year-round process to keep it going.

LOCATION

The MicroBurn is nestled in the Welsh hills on a glorious eco farm. This is working Farm with live animals, so be mindful of this during your stay. Please use the recycling facilities provided and only bring what you need.

What’s there? The Farm site has a working kitchen, toilets, various indoor and outdoor spaces, camping fields and some limited space for campervans.

The farm owners have requested that we do not publicise the venue location. Information on the precise location and directions will be shared with ticket holders closer to the event.

When travelling to the MicroBurn we would like to encourage you to ride share where possible, use public transport (the nearest train station is Caersws) and if the demand is high, we can look into organising a MicroBurn Bus for all you revellers.
