The Homegrown Festival returns September 12-14 2008 to the gorgeous hills of mid-Wales. Late summer flying, rocking music, talks and seminars, orgasmic food, a Tipi field, trade tent and lots of activities for the children…. where else would you want to be?
The first Homegrown Festival took place in the hills of mid-Wales in September 2006. We enjoyed talks by world champion Bruce Goldsmith, Louise Crandal on flying with eagles, John Silvester on his Himalayan adventure, and were given flying seminars by Jocky Sanderson, Bob Drury, Mike Campbell-Jones and others. Acro shows, balloon flights, towing and paramotor displays filled the skies.
The 2008 event will again be compered by Jocky Sanderson and we have some of the most interesting people in the sport coming to give talks and show films, plus of course a legendary music line-up. Come and test fly the latest gliders from all the UK’s leading paragliding, hang gliding and paramotoring brands – and we’ll also have the latest self-launching micro-sailplanes on display. The festival site is seated a 15 minute walk below Aberedw Ridge, a fantastic, massive flat-topped hill that takes three wind directions.
The three-day festival opens on Friday 12 September at 12:00 pm, and your ticket includes camping on Friday and Saturday nights. In 2006, the inaugural Homegrown Festival event sold out weeks before, with over 800 flyers and families gathering at Fforest Fields. Make sure you book early!
The postage and packing charge includes Royal Mail Registered Delivery of your ticket(s)
