Bonaween 18th - 20th OCTOBER 2019

18-20 OCTOBER

WELLAND - WORCESTERSHIRE

“A shockingly good family fun camping weekend which combines the horrible happenings of Halloween with a frighteningly spectacular bonfire and fireworks night.”

  • It is a chance for some of us involved with the BUSFEST event to wind down and meet Bonaween Fans in a "chilling" & relaxing environment.
  • This IS one event where you CAN bring your own FIRE PIT to and use it.
  • DOGS (and SPROGGS, GHOULS, GHOSTS etc etc) are welcome,
  • BUT please be aware that we do have a FIREWORK DISPLAY (and BIG BONFIRE) & other scary things happening on the SATURDAY NIGHT
  • There will be basic facilities (Polyjon Toilets, Elsan Points & water point & some lighting but NO showers or electric hook-up, hairdryers etc).
  • We do have a LARGE (heated) Marquee on the site.
  • We (and YOU), will make our own Entertainment, (and we have a spookingly good time doing it!)
  • Please make sure you bring enough stuff with you to feed & drink for a whole weekend of horrible happenings.
  • Don’t forget to bring suitable clothing (as well as your dressing up stuff!) …… there may be some mud!
  • It is a good base to take a trip up into the Malvern Hills and "Marvel over Malvern" at the impressive view.
  • This year we will again have some of our Busfest Syncro’s with us using our off road 4x4 course right next to the Camping area
  • It is your chance to sample just what it is like to go seriously off road around our Syncro play area.
