Ah yes… can you feel it? Spring has most definitely sprung, or sprang or is springing!
Whatever - the question on everybody’s minds at present is, ‘what festivals are we going to this year?’ And what better place to get outdoors and free the soul than in the beautiful Welsh mountains and valleys?
There’s so much happening here this summer - which means that your biggest problems will be figuring out which events you’ve just gotta see while trying not to weep too loudly at the stuff that you’ll just have to miss. So to make sure that you know your options theAbsurd team are going to be running some Festivals Special features throughout this Spring/ Summer. We’ll be foraging around to flag up a frenzy of festival fabulousness for all followers of fun and frolics!
If you’re planning a festival, or know of one that’s happening in North Wales, send the details in to theAbsurd and we’ll post it on our page. And we want your feedback… send us your photos, comments and anything else (within reason) to do with your festival shenanigans for 2009 and we’ll get them online.
Happy Camping!
Get yer festival frivolities here!!
