"Mind Expansion Pack doesn't really have an ideology or a manifesto. The closest I can come is to pitch it as a rallying point for anyone who wants something with more depth than glossy music floating over a cocktail, but try to keep it fun, yes? The programming is deliberately wide-ranging, to take your mind to different places and times - from Arpeggios and Downtempo, to Grime and Techno - encompassing live acts and DJ sets. Check out some rising talent, with JayaHadADream doing a live PA (first ever female Grime MOBO nominee anyone?), or Shosh on the decks (founder of 24 hr Garage Girls), or Buffee (coming down from Manchester, not sure what to expect!), or even freshly minted Big Sis graduates. Learn some circus skills. Do a screen print. Pick up a record or some quality second hand clothes. Grab a drink - DEYA beer and Ritual coffee for choice. Grab some food (personally, I'm thrilled Habibah are on site). No 'Door Policy'. Come and have fun. Come and dance with hundreds of other people, sharing this space and time. (Stephen/Byrd Out)"
Over 18s only Friday and Saturday evening. Under 18s can only attend Saturday Day, and must be accompanied by an adult - the circus workshop will run during the Saturday afternoon. As ever, if you have a disability and wish to attend and would like a free carer's ticket, drop Stephen a line at stephen at deyabrewing dot com. We will have colour coded wristbands in operation, so you can leave the site and return later.
