Hello again ladies and gentleman :)

For the past maybe 6 years i've been obsessed with raves an free parties after the first one i went to in a decrepit old manor in Cosford. It's quite famous round my part of England.
My friend and I bought a generator in hopes of finding a location and we did and threw some mini parties in a field just outside our local town. This attracted a max of say 30 people but was a good laugh and the night only cost about a tenner in petrol which we were happy to pay.

Then we met a bloke in a pub(how every great story starts) who told us about some land he owned in Cheshire a beautiful farm with a nice big barn miles away from any neighbours. We thought it was to good to be true but he assured us he wasn't lying and boy wasn't he.

It was a beautiful plot of land over looking the River Wye estuary. On a clear day you can see Chester and Blackpool. The views on a clear night of the lights from the cities over the estuary is beautiful.

I wish i had a before photo of the barn, unfortunately i only have one of us halfway through cleaning it. Took us the best part of 2 days to clear out the whole barn. There was horse shit everywhere and farm equipment weighing a tonne but we're keen and we got it done.

Next on the list was procuring a sound system, which if you run in the right circles isn't to difficult. We managed to hire this one and a generator from a fellow free party enthusiast for the brilliant price of only £300.

My friend had the great idea of finding some sofas for free off facebook marketplace, we loaded the in his van(which was bloody difficult)

and then we set them up in the corner of the barn.

Next it was decor, we built a palette table to go in the middle of 'Comfy Corner' and put up some tapestries and fairy lights.

We are very happy with our work and the facebook group has over 200 people attending which isn't bad for a first party!

We are also throwing parties all through next year as well as we have an arrangement with the land owner.
