ESSENTIAL INFO AND FAQ'S

Hello Folks

Here is some information for those of you who are coming to Hawkfest this year.

The festival is set on a wonderful Greenfield site, with lots of trees and views over the beautiful Devonshire countryside, near Honiton in East Devon, which has full rail and bus links to the rest of the country. The nearest airport is Exeter whose main airline Flybe, has flights from all over UK and Europe. A detailed map with directions and a list of the nearest hotels and bed and breakfast establishments, for those of you who don't fancy camping, will be sent out with tickets.

Camping will be available on the site and we have brought in luxury toilet facilities and a disabled toilet provision.

There will be a couple of bars, including a lounge bar, with a selection of beers, cider, real ales, wines, spirits, soft drinks etc, a sit down café and a variety of food outlets….We even have a village store for all of your essentials.

There will be workshops, stalls, walk around entertainment and of course the usual children's area with a variety of activities

The line up is looking good too with some amazing bands across a whole variety of genres.

Tim Blake will be performing on Friday evening and also joining Hawkwind for their set on Saturday night. Sunday it is T.O.S.H (Technicians of Spaceship Hawkwind), so as some of you will already know, anything can happen there

We have a few traditional Hawkfest favourites……Tarantism, Tribe of Cro, Bruise, Spacehead and Relentless, and by popular demand we have brought back from last year Omnia Opera, Danse of the Dead and the Tits of Death.

These will be joined by, The Starfighters (Bob Calvert's old backing band), Wind of Change, and many other bands which we will be announcing over the next couple of weeks.

There will be DJ sets throughout the weekend, including one by drum maestro Richard Chadwick himself!

Due to the huge success of "Question Time" last year, we have decided to bring it back, with a panel of band, crew and guests, hosted as usual by our favourite TV presenter, Mr Matthew Wright J……….So get those questions and discussion points in to questiontime@hawkwind.com if you want your voice to be heard.

As usual, well behaved dogs and children are welcome and children 12 years and under get in free.
