This is the 17th Bongo Bash, and the 16th to be held at the very wonderful Lickhill Manor site at Stourport-on-Severn in Worcestershire. The site is ideal for everyone. The 14 acre rally field is by the side of the Severn and can easily accommodate 300 vehicles. There are 56 electric hook-ups available, and a further 12 hook-ups for “light” electrical use, such as lighting, kettles etc i.e not  suitable for coolboxes, hairdryers or microwaves! All electric pitches are allocated on a first-come basis, so ensure you make your booking early. In past years electric hook-ups have all been sold on the day that booking commences which this year is 9.30am on Thursday 4th April. Electric hook-ups cost £17 per night (£15 for split electric) and you must book a minimum of 3 nights.

But it’s June, and you don’t really need to have a hook-up as you can charge your phone at reception; there are 240 non-electric pitches available at £13 per night.

There is a children’s adventure playground. The campsite has fishing rights, and small boats can be launched from the slip way. The town of Stourport is a 15 minute riverside walk away, and picturesque Bewdley is 45 minutes in the opposite direction. And it goes without saying that the facilities are top notch.

There will be various Bongo related shops on site, as well as a catering unit, a marquee where there will be live entertainment and the club AGM, and a coach trip on Saturday. There are also some organised children’s activities, as well as a craft fair and some social events.

This is a Bongo Fury members-only event. Not a member? Then join here.

Day visitors are welcome free of charge but are asked to make a voluntary donation to this year’s nominated charity.

For the very latest updates, discussion etc then have a look on the Bongo Fury Forum.
