More info

Alt-Fest is a 3 day outdoor festival with 5 days of camping and market stalls. With multiple live music stages covering the genres of Goth, Industrial, EBM, Electronica and metal. There will also be clubbing marquees, a circus big top and a variety of alternative performers from burlesque to fetish, comedy and beyond.

Alt-Fest will be family friendly with the aged 12 and under getting free entry to the festival (1 free child per full paying adult). There will also be a creche for very small ones, activities for children including fairground rides, a petting zoo, bouncy castles and more.

There will also be an adult only 'village' which will be a self-contained area with a strict over 18 access, with a full Club AntiChrist clubbing zone and adult 'play' area.

Camping

Campers can arrive Thursday morning (exact time to follow) and camp all the way through to Tuesday morning that's 5 full days of camping onsite. These times are to spread out the number of people arriving/departing and offer a day to warm up for the festival, have a wander around, get to know where everything is, and then on Monday there's a chance to recharge batteries before making the trek home. Organisers plan to have some entertainment on the Thursday evening too. Those wanting to camp Friday-Sunday or any other combination between Thurs 14th-Tuesday 19th (am) then they are welcome to do so.

Crowd funded

Alt-Fest will be a crowd-funded festival, sourced and created by the crowd itself with them also determining the form of the festival by voting on acts to appear on the bill. Festival-goers are stepping forward to volunteer the crowd-sourced resources, labour and finance that Alt-Fest requires to be a truly punter-powered event, where ticket-holders are fully invested in the decision making process. The festival not only reached its target of £30,000 but went on to double the target, receiving over £61,000 from fans via the Kickstarter UK platform.

Steampunk Experience

The Steampunk Experience will be created within its own enclave at the 2014 festival offering not just music but all aspects of Steampunk lifestyle via fashion shows, clockwork races, Tea Duelling and The Grand Steampunk Parade.

Dismembership

Limited to 500 Members per year, dismembership offers discounts on tickets, merchandise and the like for £40 which goes towards paying the line-ups and attractions at Alt-Fest.
