WIGFEST ANNOUNCEMENT:
I've booked Dr Meaker for the Friday evening. What a brilliant way to start off the weekend with The Model Workers and Double R5 followed by Immence DJs warming up the crowd for Dr Meaker and continuing after.

Please buy your tickets asap to avoid disappointment x

Wigfest Announcement:

Due to family circumstances you have not had any updates from me recently. After much contemplation I have decided to go ahead with the event from Friday 31st July to Monday 2nd August.

The crowd that come to the event are like an extended family to me and I need all your smiley faces and energy. It has also been a platform and place to remember loved ones that have left us and this year is no exception after the loss of Blue recently.

I have decided to lower ticket prices for the weekend. Adult tickets £50 for the 3 days or £20 for a day ticket. For those who have already bought tickets I will refund the difference or set up credit at the bar! Please PM me your choice. For new tickets please PM me for more information.

I will need help from any volunteers that can provide some time over thee weekend with :
- a shift or 2 at the bar
- setting up the fire pit and wood
- helping with the tidy up on Monday
- ideas and set up of party games
- kids entertainment / face painting
- any activities that you would like us to include
- lighting for the hall and campsite
- dj set up equipment

Thanks again to Haz, Chris and Geoff etc for all their help and organisation of the Leicester collective.

WIGFEST ANNOUNCEMENT:
We hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break?
This year's Wigfest, on its 20th Anniversary, is going to remember our dear friend Blue Swales. Using the three colours of the Trans flag we will have 3 themed days. One Pink, one White and one Blue.
As it is the 20th Anniversary we would also like to produce some merchandise including T-shirts, badges and pint cups. We have designed some logos and would like your feedback/preference please. The T-Shirts are going to have the logo on the front and the band names on the back.
Please remember to buy your tickets asap too x

Wigfest Announcement:

I've booked the same venue again for the 31st July-3rd August 2026 weekend. It's the 20th Anniversary, Eva's 18th and my 60th too so need to make this one a party to remember.

The venue rental has increased since 2024 but I still think you'll agree that it's the perfect size for us. I'm not advertising it externally as I think we have a great group of friends, vibe and collective family with the perfect ambience. Happy for you all to invite friends and family who will like the vibe.

Tickets will be £50 (over 16) and free for U16. For tickets please pay the same bank account and let me know via DM when you have done so x

We have also asked River Ki Taylor and Kim Taylor to provide their wonderful food again too.

Sunday will be a BLUE themed day in memory of Blue Swales our dear friend and regular Wigfester. Please be creative x

Trying to secure all the other favourites along with some new bands to be confirmed. Hoping to create a theme for the weekend with some special surprises to announce in the New Year.

This year all profits will go to Rowcroft Hospice and Torquay Prostate Support Association.

Happy Christmas and New Year t you all x

ANNOUNCEMENT:

It's with a sad heart that I have to inform you that we lost Blue last weekend. Blue was a regular at Wigfest and she found it a place where she could be herself amongst our beautiful family of supportive friends.

Blue and Ellen were such a lovely couple and it was only a few months ago that we were enjoying the Wigfest reunion in Leicester together.

There will be a BLUE theme on the Sunday 2nd August, at next years Wigfest, in honour of Blue. Please be as crazy or creative as you feel fit.
