We're REALLY pleased to announce that Off Grid will be held on the fabulous Fernhill Farm, an operational eco-farm near Cheddar, which has previously hosted some of the best green festivals in the UK. It's beautiful. Wood-fuelled hot showers already on site. Camping barns available to stay in. And a whole host of eco-facilities for your enjoyment. Yippee!
