WATUSI FESTIVAL 2011 - A Solar-Powered Festival For South Wales, 2nd- 4th September, Fonmon Castle Grounds.

Watusi Festival is back for 2011! After a great success in 2010 we’ve found a new, amazing, beautiful site: Fonmon Castle Grounds. Just 4km from last years site, we’ve relocated to the grounds of the 13th century castle with its woodland walk ways, stone wall paddocks, and sweeping views.

We’ve increased the arts offering with a new focus on theatre and cabaret, expanded the eco-area and added a well-being and healing zone. We stay family friendly with the kids zone, and increase the sleep by having a camping area sheltered by trees.

What’s more we’ve increased the length of the event by one day, with a full programme of events into Sunday night so you wanna make sure you stay over until monday.

We’re keeping it a boutique festival with a community feel and no intrusive advertising for brand x all over the place. All in all it should be a lovely lovely event!

please note, as ever, everything is subject to change
