Best Festival in Guernsey, Channel Islands - Chaos 8 Weekend


With the new year hype all finished with, I've started with the holiday planning and longing for summer I feel every year. I can't be alone in this and if we keep listening to economics news, most people will be looking to spend money closer to home and with at least 4 festivals in Guernsey this year we are spoilt. This year we have Sark Folk Festival, Festival of Performing Arts, Victor Hugo Festival and best of all Chaos Weekend 8


It is telling I've only missed one year at Chaos in the last five. I have had personal involvement in this little gem since my first year and this year, this three day festival will be my main focus for the next 6 months as I help organise and run the Peace Tent. The Peace tent has developed over the years from a Greenpeace information and tea tent to a complete little mini event of it's own. We proudly offer an alternative space to festival goers, there is bands, djs, poets, story tellers and some people seeking somewhere to sit for ten minutes returned every waking moment of their three days.


But the Peace Tent is only a small part of Chaos 8 - the majority of first time visitors come because of word of mouth - and word of mouth is the best recommendation for a festival. next up more of Chaos 8 but for now: look at the photo above and tell me that"s not the best view!
