2012 sees the 'luxury' camping options at BoomTown getting hugely upgraded! An exclusive new camping area including Tipis, Bell-Tents and Podpads, perfect for those who like to sleep in style and comfort.
BoomTown offers a weekend of cabaret, gypsy, folk, reggae, dub and more within the confines of a whole 'pop up' town. Organisers have revealed that next year the site layout is having a complete overhaul and everything is being upgraded, adapted and expanded. Although the city walls are expanding the actual town population will stay at 13,000.
