Quarterlifeparty

In just checking out the latest news for the ATP New York Festival, I also saw this Nightmare Before Christmas Festival curated by The Melvins & Mike Patton.  The lineup has a ton of strange bands that you might expect from the likes of Mike Patton. The festival takes place at Butlins holiday resort in Minehead. Where the Ef is that you might ask? unfortunately it’s across the Atlantic, but if you happen to be heading in that direction, want to make a special trip, or already live near there,  I imagine it would be a pretty weird time.

Butlins Minehead looks out across a superb sandy beach. The new site not only has a supermarket, newsagent and cash points, it also has Burger King, Pizza Hut, Finnigan’s fish and chips, Sun and Moon, Skyline Cafe and Yacht Club Dining room. Onsite facilities include a cinema, Splash Water World – a sub-tropical environment that has a huge wave pool, a swimming pool, 3 flumes and also a flume based raft ride – Ten-pin bowling and amusement arcade. Sports include Archery, Football, Basketball, Darts, Petanque, Fencing, Kwik Cricket, Netball, Rounders, Table Tennis, Outdoor Bowls and Crazy Golf (some of these subject to availability but most usually operate during the weekend).
