quick note for anyone who had Alchemy tickets - Paypal will refund if you claim within 180 days of ordering them originally, which if you bought early bird tickets in October means call them now. 0800 358 7911, and have the receipt handy.

Apparently they're doing it outside the 180 days if you ask. Not confirmed but shy bairns get nowt

New Crowdfunding campaign

The old Alchemy Festival crew had been left in a difficult situation and have come together to continue with what we all believe is a beautiful thing.

Where else do all the the tribes come together and celebrate? Didn't we put on the best party in the universe??!

We have received no money at all from any previous 2016 ticket sales to Alchemy Festival Ltd....indeed, we didn't even get paid for our months of hardwork last year when Alchemy 'disappeared', leaving families in personal financial difficulty, as well as those who had bought tickets to an event that no longer existed, out of pocket and without the festival that was for many, the highlight of their year.

The crew have now founded a new, not for profit company of their own, Medieval Chemistry Ltd, and started their own festival under the name of Equinox-we have traditionally always gathered as close to the Autumn Equinox as possible.

Anyone else interested?

 

[William of Walworth]

In theory yes, at least 10 (more?) unmissables on that list for me.

In practical reality though, I can't make it this year.

Glad to see though that the dates, which earlier this year briefly seemed to be overlapping with Gail's Something Else In the Dean, have reverted to traditional Alchemyesque dates.

Maybe next year

 

[edwinchester]

Yay! Licence granted for the festival to go ahead back on its home site.

I think that's all the t's crossed, i's dotted, hoops jumped through and hurdles over for the crew running this. Good work guys!

Shout has gone out for more stewards if anyone is interested

I had the pleasure of meeting Funke and the Two Tone Baby at a festival this year and what a lovely young man he is, music is good too.

Would definitely be up for working it if I wasn't otherwise engaged having a baby this year.

Hope it goes well
