HOW HAS IT BEEN ANOTHER 2 WEEKS!
Without sharing every gory detail of our personal lives, we are so busy with everything we seem to be blinking and the days are just gone!
This year had all the ups and downs, amazing music, and back stage drama, an unfinished site, but filled with amazing people! What we think was our best site plan, amazing traders and food vendors and so much fun enjoyed by everyone.
We added in free entertainment for you all which is always a risk as it’s not cheap, but the racing sim, circus skills and van graffiti show were used a lot so it was totally worth the extra expense, then there was the dog show! Wow it was awesome so many of you and your four legged friends joined in and we had an absolute blast.
We have wanted to get this figure to you sooner, however there was a large service that we were just not happy with. We thought this could be dealt with swiftly an amicably, but alas this has not been the case and it is going to drag out for some time by the looks of it which is really disappointing for us.
We are working behind the scenes to find a new venue, we have 3 in the pipeline and we just need to arrange site visits to make sure they’re the perfect fit for slumber.
The dates for next year are 6-8th of August, get them in your diary now! Once we have finalised the venue tickets will be on sale.
We would love to hear your feedback, good or bad, we always like to take on your thoughts so we can improve and be better year after year, so don’t hold back, your feedback of our festival is so important to us.
There is also one thing for sure and that’s ticket prices, we have kept them very affordable for a long time now, we strive on giving you the big gig feel on a budget price. We are able to do this because so many of our volunteers, musicians, wellness practitioners etc all come for free and do what they love to make our festival amazing, if we had to pay them all our ticket prices would be up to and over £200 for a family of 4 where we have been keeping it well below that. We will have to increase ticket sales next year but we will be keeping them at the most reasonable around for an event of this size.
For those who have messaged asking if we’re ok as they haven’t seen anything even on our personal facebooks, don’t panic, I’ve been using an app called Be Present which helps controls your screen time and I’ve found out that I spend far to many hours on Facebook and have been taking some time away, our lives are still spinning at a million miles per hour, I’m just not sticking it all on Facebook.
We had an absolute blast this year as we always do and apart from the usual back stage drama that we have to deal with like one of us being in the hospital every day on the run up to the festival with either badly timed important appointments or just being bitten by a dog (off site) and needing a trip to a&e, bands not turning up, the wind blowing everyone’s stalls over chasing crucial paperwork down and missing our friends wedding for the greater good of the festival, it was still another amazing year of Slumber.
This year we have raised a much better amount than last year which we are super pleased with, even with the extra free entertainment and ever increasing costs. We are really pleased to announce that we have raised £1872.64 for our charity Bearded Fishermen Charity - Mental Health and Su***de Prevention
Again thank you each and every one of you for bringing your fantastic energy to our festival and helping us make it what it is. We honestly can’t thank you all enough for being a part of it.
Don’t forget we would love your feedback good or bad and you can just comment here, inbox the page or email us on [email protected]
Thank you again for another amazing year and keep your eyes peeled on the page so you don’t miss out on our new venue announcement.
