๐ถ๐บ BUZZAFEST 2026 โ WE BLOODY SURVIVED!! ๐บ๐ถ
And when we say survivedโฆ we actually mean it this year. ๐โ๏ธ
WHAT. A. WEEKEND.
First of all, a MASSIVE THANK YOU to every single one of you who came and supported Buzzafest. โค๏ธ
You drank.
You ate.
You sang.
You danced.
Some of you drank some more and suddenly became much more confident about your dancing ability. ๐๐
And then, just when we thought we'd nearly made it through the weekendโฆ
THE WEATHER SAID: HOLD MY B**R. โ๏ธ๐บ๐
Buzzafest certainly didn't end quite how we'd expected, with a storm deciding to join us for the grand finale!
But did that stop us?
DID IT HELL. ๐
First came dancing in the rain like we were starring in our very own Busfeild music video. ๐ง๏ธ๐๐บ
Then came the slightly less glamorousโฆ
โRIGHT EVERYONE, WE'RE MOVING INSIDE!โ ๐๐
Cue a very quick emergency venue change, a bit of organised chaos, everyone mucking in and before we knew itโฆ
๐ถ WE WERE BACK UP AND RUNNING! ๐ถ
@
Because apparently it takes more than a bloody storm to stop Buzzafest. ๐โ๏ธ๐ป
๐ธ A HUGE THANK YOU TO CORNELL for arranging such an incredible line-up of acts, and to every musician who performed over the weekend โ you were absolutely brilliant. โค๏ธ๐ถ
And then we come to the people who deserve medals, a lie down and possibly counsellingโฆ
โค๏ธ OUR STAFF. โค๏ธ
Quite frankly, THEY WORKED THEIR ARSES OFF.
The bar team poured enough booze to refloat the Titanic.
The kitchen produced enough food to feed East Morton until Christmas.
The runners covered approximately the same mileage as the Tour de France.
The glass collectors learnt the horrifying truth that however many glasses you collectโฆ another 47 immediately appear.
And that bloody buzzerโฆ
BZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
We'll all be hearing that in our sleep for the foreseeable future. ๐
They worked through queues, food orders, mountains of glasses, unpredictable weather and then, for their final challengeโฆ
A BLOODY STORM AND AN EMERGENCY VENUE CHANGE. ๐คฃ๐
And they STILL kept going.
Honestly, we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. โค๏ธ
Thank you as well to everyone behind the scenes who set things up, moved things, cleaned things, fixed things, fetched things and responded to Beth & Donna shouting โCAN SOMEONE JUSTโฆ?!โ approximately 746 times. ๐
Months of planning.
Two days of madness.
One storm. โ๏ธ
One emergency venue change.
Approximately 8 million pints. ๐บ
And countless questionable dance moves.
BUZZAFEST 2026 โ YOU WERE AN ABSOLUTE BELTER. โค๏ธ๐ถ๐ป
Same again next year?
DON'T. EVEN. ASK.
Give us at least a week. ๐๐๐
