Tickets have gone on sale today for next year's BLOC weekend which sees the festival celebrating the first five years.

Butlins @ Minehead
One of the leading indoor underground music events, BLOC weekend offers three days of independent electronic music from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th March 2011 held once again at Butlins Resort, Minehead, in Somerset.

The event promises a line-up of something like 60+ international acts. There are no acts confirmed yet for 2011.

Ticket bookings are done per chalet. Tickets have to be bought in groups of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 (and ten 8 berth) according to the size of the apartment wanted. 'Self-Catering' apartments have a kitchen and a separate living room, and 'Room-Only' apartments do not. A room only ticket is priced at £140 per person, including festival passes.

There's self-catered, heated chalet accommodation on site, with ensuite and equipped with beds, kitchen, showers, and all mod cons. Butlins Minehead looks out across a sandy beach. The site is equipped with a supermarket, newsagent, cash points and restaurants.

Onsite facilities include a Splash Water World - a sub-tropical environment that has a wave pool, a swimming pool, 3 flumes and also a flume based raft ride, plus ten-pin bowling and amusement arcade. Sports include archery, football, basketball, darts, petanque, fencing, kwik cricket, netball, rounders, table tennis, outdoor bowls and crazy golf.

For each of the previous four years BLOC weekend has sold out and expect 2011 to be no exception.
