**** IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION ***
Here at Maker Events we are very conscious of the effects of the current credit crunch, fuel prices, rising costs etc and want to make a positive contribution to making the Maker Sunshine Festival affordable to families and groups with young people.
To this end we have decided to allow all young people 15 and under into the festival for free.
Youth ticket remains £50 for 16yr olds.
Young people's tickets must still be booked in conjunction with a full paying adult.
YOUNG PEOPLE 5 - 15 GO FREE
Hope this helps :))
Pete n Loobs

getting excited and planning to be the jester again but worried that some people got a bit freeked out by the face paint so will be doing it myself this year (with a little help from my friends) and also those kids jumped the face painting girls que last year. Kids remember grown ups like painting there faces to.

There are discounted rates available for people living in the local area. See local posters for details.

The full and completed line-up goes live this week and yes we will be seeing Black Friday and a good selection of Energy Room bands because we haven't removed the Energy Room at all just added stuff...
We are always grateful for constructive feedback on what people want more of, less of, etc. So please do let us know...
Mad Dog have become a bit of an institution at Maker because they are so popular - with people from all over the country not just those that see them a lot locally.
Sorry we couldn't get 3 Daft Monkeys - we tried!

The line up isnt fully up is it? There's a band i like that say they're playing on their website, but you haven't got it up. Just wandering if there are many other bands like that. Anyone know?

do members get discount, if so how???

Do you know something we don't Gordon? Go on spill the beans!

Do locals get a discount on the tickets?

Prepare to be surprised Dave

Energy Room will still be active with plenty of mosh mania Friday night! - we've not changed it completely...just added a few extras with some funky dance and dubb for good measure...Change is good - stops it getting stale:)) "

so................... why are Mad Dog playing AGAIN?! ......Change is good - stops it going stale!!!haha made me laugh....i dont think you realise how much of an effect "removing"the energy room from the festival will have....oh well .....your loss!!!

Ta

found him!

Just got our tickets...see ya all there :)

I'm looking for a lovely guy wh I met at Clockwork in Bristol afew weeks ago at the Aba Shanti gig...goes by the name of Rory RedRox...I lost my phone and this festival is the only thing I know he's planning to be at! Someone must know this guy, if you do please let me know, send me emails please!!! He has dreds and a nose freckle!!! Karen xxx

Don't worry Dan, I'd be very suprised if Black Friday didn't play.

no three daft monkeys, pentorr or black friday this year? what am I to do? is that the complete lineup or will more be added?

Just about to order tickets for this years event and I thaught I'd let you know what a fantastic time our family had last year regardless of the weather.It kind of made it even more memorable. Thanks once again and see you all there.

The Maker Green Team still has a few places left within the team rota at this summers Maker Sunshine Festival. From we're I come from I'd certainly like to see more local Rame residents involved, particularity 'young people' at this summers event. Last year the Maker Green Team achieved a 70% recycling and re-use rate at Maker Heights. This summer I'm hoping to top this further with the inclusion of 'food waste collection'. We now have the means to deal with this waste and turn this stuff into power and as a by product, 'compost' material'. All very exciting indeed!

Together all of us can make Maker the UK''s leading sustainable festival - just about everything is in place!

We can all set the standard by example, but we need your assistance to achieve this! For 2008 Maker Sunshine Festival Green Team volunteer forms, please email: delia@maker-green-team.org. Thank you!

This new lineup is trash. Lemanis and Ecco Jones? And youve lost the Energy room... Think i'll give it a miss.

sorry im an idiot, mind was elsewhere. i meant Pentorr,

Are Black Friday and Pentangle not playing this year? :(

Is "Spices" going to be in the back of the acoustic tent again this year? Good chef, violent Thai Green Curry, and a good bloke all-round but said that he was thinking of having a year-off.
Shame, if that's the case. Breakfast won't be the same.

Andy

Hi, just brousing the line up and I cant see Grelch on there I thought they were last in the energy room. Are they still playing?

for those who dont know s.t.o.p is scientist the orange pip.they hate that abbreviation as it reflects commercialism and is not what they support.please go see scientist the orange pip in the energy room on saturday night.mind blowing

Maker Soon so excited.

Rich you better be coming!

do locals get cheaper tickets this year? we have done in previous years!!!

hi, was just wondering if you would be doing reduced priced tickets for late arrivers as you have done in previous years? have been coming to the festival for the past 4 years, but won't be able to arrive til saturday am ths year!!! don't want to miss out on the fun! cheers

cheers for the reply, i think we are going to give it a go, we will never know unless we give it a try - and i love a good festival :-)

Innavan, unfortunely it's dogs no go zone. Try leaving yours with friends, family over Maker! Don't be put off Maker a fantastic festival.

Hi Kelly,

Yes, a pair of twenty-somethings wanting a beer, and to listen to some music will be quite welcome at Maker. It's precisely that sort of fezzie. If I come that's exactly what I will be doing.

Cheers, and have a good time.

hi can somebody tell me if we can bring our dog? thaanks! peace

Hi
Just wanted to know if the acts play outside or if they are in tents? Also, is it over run with children? will a couple of twentysomethings wanting to relax with a drink and some music be out of place? cheers

hillside heroes are playing 2nd stage at 9.30 on the thursday night, funk the salad!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Count to Fire!! I think they're awesome! :D

Hi Pete, can't wait for this year's festival. Can you let us know when you will be mailing out the tickets?

Loobs, thanks for email response (12/05/07), just a reminder here that I 've sent one back, in case you missed this with the quantities presently ending up in your inbox, Best D

Does anyone know if Eliot Whale Boy are playing this Year?!? They're Crazy (in a good way) :D

What a shame! Would love to attend your festy but i have WOMAD tickets, and it clashes etc. Living in Falmouth means a festy fairly near-by is always a bonus. Hopefully come another time.

I can see why the tickets have gone up but its quite savage, i've been attending for the last 2years and its been all good. Its just because of some blummin swilies that its doing it. i think some of us should get discount! hehehe. Geddon, gunna love this year!

Hey Maker
can't wait to play for you again, just to say we are confirmed with Oli as playing on Saturday 28th at 2pm on the main stage, says Friday on your line up page
Chunkylove xx

im 17, so will i have to pay full price this year? or will it be £45

I see the line-up is complete for this years Maker Fest, but am dissappointed to see FOUNDATION are not included!! Why is this?? They were the highlight of last years fest!! What other reggae is gonna be there? We're travelling down from Caterham & will be in need of our yearly fix of roots rock reggae!! Heres to another great one - ROLL ON JULY!!!

ONLINE TICKET PURCHASING NOW AVAILABLE AT makerevents.co.uk
