FILM CLUB

OPEN DECK NIGHT

And for those of you who want to dance the night away with the grass between your toes under the stars we’ve found a grove of trees for you to do just that – you just need to find the Groove Grove… (we’ve hidden it away from the sleeping campers!). On Sunday night at the Groove Grove we will be running an open deck night so if you want to make a special guest appearance and spin some grooves for your fellow Bohemians bring along your tunes and we’ll stick you on. The management reserves the right to veto volunteer DJs on the grounds of taste – majority rules.
