It's gone now

2006-08-07T05:41:00.000-07:00

We are exhausted, sad, dirty, proud, & very sick of litter.
THANKYOU to everyone who has made Munkyfest something to be so proud of over the years, to all the bands who have ever played, and all of the wonderful people who picked up loads of litter on Sunday morning.
love from Munkyfest xxxx

if anyone has lost their keys, give us a shout coz we've found some. x

Food & Drink

2006-08-01T06:40:00.000-07:00

Just so you know, there'll be food and drink for sale at munkyfest (water is free from the drinking water tap) from the big dan's crepe van and also the munkyfest BBQ. However, we don't have a license to sell alcohol so bring your own (or buy some from the village store which is a 1 minute walk up the road). But please don't bring glass bottle onto the site cos it slices up the cows. xxx

Exciting!!!!!!

2006-07-25T07:21:00.000-07:00

The last ever Munkyfest is less than two weeks away!!!!!!!!! (Saturday 5th August) and the collective adrenalin is slowly building like a bubbling cesspool of vile glee. everything looks set for a fun day and night of partying away to the sounds of alternative pop music. there's also going to be a munkyfest bandstand - kind of like a second stage that'll operate inbetween the main one. lots of exciting stuff on that including The Unpleasants, Redbank, Get Chevyed and some laptop wonderment. also, please, please, please bring along your cd-r compliations for a big ol' compilation swap lucky dip. we're also going to be playing them over the PA. check out the bands on our bands page of the website and get yourself a ruddy ticket from the link on the home page. come and join the fun, don't spoil the sport. xxxx

munkyfest compilation swap

2006-07-09T08:43:00.000-07:00

We're trying to think of little things to make munkyfest as good as possible. Some of our ideas are crazy or impossible, so if you've got any suggestions, get in touch somehow.

So the comp swap, not a terribly difficult concept, but we all get a little something out of it with very little effort:
Make a CDR compilation of whatever you want.
Bring it to munkyfest
Put it in the box at the gate
Collect a ticket

and then...
During the day we'll dip into the box whenever we need music to play over the PA (whenever we have time between all these fantastic acts on the stage and bandstand...)
Towards the end of the night you can bring your ticket back and we'll randomly distribute the CDs to those who brought one.

So it's like a swap and also the chance to effectively DJ at munkyfest all in one.

Tickets now on sale

2006-06-05T09:35:00.000-07:00

Tickets are now available. As well as giving you entry to the Last Ever Munkyfest, and a compilation CD on the door, buying in advance means you're automatically entered into the Last Ever Munkyfest Prize Draw, with a chance to win a special prize, so secret even we don't know what it is yet. It'll be good though, and just look how happy last year's winner was!

We've now sorted out some teething problems with the PayPal system, and tickets are now selling faster than ever before, so click here to go to the ticket sales page

The free under-12s tickets may be reserved if you're also buying a ticket - just send a note with your order (add a comment if using paypal).

Munkyfest is coming along nicely

2006-05-02T10:10:00.000-07:00

Well, the plans for the last ever Munkyfest are well underway and the going is good. We are excited already, what with the amazing bands that have already been confirmed and the necessaries booked. We are also hoping to do some extra fun things at the festival, seeing as it's the last one. Any suggestions, give us a shout. Nothing daft, mind. x

Munkyfest Website

2006-04-03T12:44:00.000-07:00

The MunkyFest website has received a beautiful floral update and now has new information about this year's MunkyFest.

Don't forget to check out the Munkyfest MySpace Group and the Munkyfest Photos on Flickr, where you can also upload your own photographs.

2006....

2005-12-30T12:02:00.000-08:00

Thought people would be interested to know that plans for the eighth munkyfest have begun .

Of course, it's early days yet and it'll be a while before we have any details of precisely what will happen, but it looks like it'll be on 5th August 2006.

After much discussion amongst ourselves, we've come to the somewhat momentous decision that this will be the LAST EVER MUNKYFEST. And on that bombshell, Happy New Year everyone.

Advance Tickets Lottery

2005-07-29T05:48:00.000-07:00

I can now confirm that all people who purchase an advance ticket for Munkyfest (which you can do via the home page of the website) will be automatically entered into the Vegetables prize draw.

More Bands

2005-07-19T06:29:00.000-07:00

More amazing bands have been announced on the bands page of the website. Tickets are now on sale in a big way so get buying. I may try and bribe you to buy advance tickets by announcing some sort of Vegetables raffle for the advance ticket buyers - possibly to win a taxidermied stoat on a bike, we'll see. Watch this space.

Tickets now available

2005-07-18T09:18:00.000-07:00

Tickets are now on sale from the website if you'd like to buy in advance.

Also we've added a link to a map ('Where' page) in case you want to see where Munkyfest will occur.

Tickets

2005-07-15T02:58:00.000-07:00

We are going to have tickets for this year's Munkyfest available through the website within the next week (it's just going to be a case of paypalling by email I think) priced £8. Obviously, as with previous Munkyfests, you will be able to pay on the door, but if you are kind, organised and don't mind paying in advance, you'd be really helping us out by purchasing a ticket before the day of the fest. We need filthy money.

2005-07-08T08:17:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately Vic Goddard can't do this year's Munkyfest anymore but, don't worry, we'll replace him with something powerful.

Bands/Directions

2005-07-01T03:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry the website's not been updated in a while but some bands have now been announced on the 'bands' page of the website and more will be announced there very soon. There are some directions to Tan House Farm on the 'Where' page which should get you there from the M56 pretty easily. Hopefully in the near future there will be some kind of mapage too.

Munkyfest Date and Location Confirmed!!!!

2005-05-14T05:12:00.000-07:00

Munkyfest 2005 will officially be held on Saturday the 6th of August at Tan House Farm, Ball Lane, Kingsley, Frodsham, Cheshire, WA6 8HL.
Standby for bands!

Possible Location

2005-05-06T03:37:00.000-07:00

Okay, we think we've got a new location for Munkyfest. Matt's going to go down and check it out this weekend and, hopefully, if it's all okay, then we can properly get things moving for this year's Munkyfest.

Munkyfest is moving

2005-04-03T03:46:00.000-07:00

This year's Munkyfest will not be held at Spring Farm but it may well be held somewhere ridiculously close by. Basically the Munkyfest barn now looks like a NASA hanger and is being used for document storage - the field is going to have crops in it. So we're currently asking around - we've got various ideas. Will keep you posted.

Website Gets a New Face

2005-03-24T09:30:00.000-08:00

Sorry the website hasn't been updated for a while but fear not - it's because we are awaiting a new, improved version from Paul Rafferty which is gonig to be so amazing and professional, you'll think we've turned into a business consultancy. Seriously, it will be nice and up soon.

The Alchemy Begins

2005-03-24T09:27:00.000-08:00

Proper plans for Munkyfest number seven, 2005, are now starting to get under way. The news so far is that we won't be holding it in the barn of Spring Farm which is now full of documents. So we're currently sorting out finalising the location as well as agreeing on a date - safe to say it's going to be the usual around the end of July. Also, we've got some good ideas for bands.

2005-02-03T07:38:00.000-08:00

Not a huge amount to report yet. Plans for Munkyfest 2005 are still very much in embreonic form... but we are working on it. We hope to have a brand spanking new website quite soon. Joe.
