With SherstonFest cancelled this year organisers have announced Boondocks, a Kickstarter funded event that sees SherstonFest organisers collaborate with the prople who put together Malmesbury Acoustic, Malmesbury Rocks, FieldView and WOMAD (organisers are hoping to borrow their flags).

The family friendly event will be offering music, food, local beers and ciders on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July 2015.

Boondocks will take place at a site on the Foxley road out of Malmesbury, in Wiltshire just opposite Foxley Nurseries, and will allow camping right on the site.

Boondocks will focus mainly on live music, with at least 2 large outdoor stages, programmed all weekend with live bands of all genres, from the local area and from all over the country. Plus a small fairground and an outdoor skatepark.

A statement from SherstonFest organisers says:

"How Can YOU Make Sure It Actually Happens? Its going to be a bit bigger than SherstonFest (but still “Boutique”) so we are running a “Kickstarter” funding campaign, mainly to see if people are up for it – so if you go and “pledge” £30 on kickstarter when it looks like we have enough pledges to put it on (about 30 grand *gulp* ) your 30 quid will magically have bought you a (cheap) full weekend ticket including camping… simples!!
So to make it happen just go here and do the do – you put up 30 quid, we put in 9 months of blood, sweat and tears and lo…. Boondocks is born!

BUT you only have a month to do this (you have to put a time limit on Kickstarters) … if by the beginning of December there isn't enough pledged to make it happen…. then sadly it won’t … :(

How excited are we…. ? Hope you are too!! Big BIG Love from SFHQ

PS…. Why “Boondocks”….. well we are kinda gently tacking the Micky out of ourselves :) As the oxford dictionary has it…...

pledge tickets now >

A weekend ticket can be pledged on Kickstarter for £30 for a full weekend ticket including camping. If the festival doesn't go ahead pledges will get £24 back.
