MicroBurn 2018 is revving up!

Hello MicroBurners!

Are you excited for MicroBurn 2018? We are! We can't wait to return to our favourite green Welsh valley next September and plans are well underway here at MicroBurn HQ.

Lots of you told us that the thing you least liked about MicroBurn last year was that it ended too soon, so to put that right this year the event starts on Thursday afternoon. That's right, a whole extra 24 hours of MicroBurn to enjoy, and for the same price as last year. Don't say we don't treat you!

Read on for lots of exciting news, dates for your diary, and a call out for a couple of vital lead roles we need to fill soon - your chance to really get involved.

We always love to hear from you, so if you want to make a suggestion, offer to lead or volunteer, or just ask a burning question, do email us at volunteers@microburn.org or, better yet, Join the Slack team!


Love, puppies and rainbows,
MicroBurn HQ.

The Low Income Ticket Program exists to provide assistance to those who, due to their financial circumstances, would be unable to purchase a standard priced ticket or be subject to considerable hardship if they did so. Low Income Ticket applications open on May 1st and you can apply here.

You'll have noticed that this year we have Vehicle Permits, which apply to both cars and live-in vehicles. Last year there were a few issues around parking so to help things run more smoothly this time around we want to encourage as much lift-sharing and travel by public transport as possible - which of course we all know is what is best for the environment too.

Food! Glorious Food!


Our Kitchen Leads, Ella and Felix, plan to run the MicroBurn Kitchen on an opt-in basis this year. This means that Kitchen tickets will be sold separately from Event tickets, so you get to choose whether to opt-in or to provide your own facilities and food.

Two delicious meals a day will be provided for those who opt-in, which will be vegan and gluten free, with some veggie and gluten options. You will be required to indicate any allergy info at time of buying ticket.

Everyone who opts into the Kitchen plan is expected to chip in and do one kitchen shift.

Seeking Leads


Storage and Transport Lead

This is a vital year long round core lead role overseeing the storage of our infrastructure in Liverpool and arranging its transport to and from the MicroBurn site.

Due to our storage being in Liverpool it would best suit someone living in the North West. The role also involves hiring and driving a van to and from MicroBurn (or finding someone reliable who can.)

Comms Lead

If you like to share knowledge and have attention to detail, then talk to us about joining the Comms Team. We are looking for someone to co-ordinate our messages on Facebook, the website and newsletters like this one and, as we get closer to the event, respond to comments and questions on social media and emails.

Previous experience in a similar role is a bonus, but not essential.


Everyone in a lead role gets as much support from the core team as they need, and it is a lovely friendly team to be a part of.

To discuss further or to volunteer for either role, email volunteers@microburn.org.

Arts Grants


There will again be grants available to help cover the costs of bringing art to MicroBurn. Keep a look out for applications opening soon.
