Saturday 12 – Sunday 13 September 2009
12noon - 10pm
Bernie Spain Gardens
Entertainment for young and old with a Punch and Judy show, a traditional wooden Helter Skelter, get-up-and-bop-‘till-you-drop music from the Disco Shed, the eccentric Museum of British Folklore, bee bunting workshops and delicious stalls for picnicking, tea and cakes.
The Disco Shed - Kitsch, cool, and full of character, the Disco Shed was conceived in a moment of garden party madness by club promoters and long time festival goers Peepshow Paddy and Aidan ‘Count' Skylarkin. Taking inspiration from their actual shed, in which they‘d enjoyed one too many parties for their neighbours liking, they set about converting an ordinary 8 x 6 ft Billy O garden shed into the must-have accessory for any self-respecting festival - the Disco Shed!
The Museum of British Folklore - In April this year Simon Costin launched his Museum of British Folklore Tour and has be travelling the length and breadth of the UK ever since to promote his project and find a permanent home for the UK's first ever Museum dedicated solely to celebrating and recording our rich Folk Culture.
Professor Eek's Punch and Judy - a traditional Punch and Judy show with all the classic characters including the Baby, the Policeman, Joey the Clown and, of course, the Crocodile. Plenty of sausages and nonsense, a real treat for children of all ages, from 2 to 200.
