Monday 27th August, you've arrived at #HEFF2018, set up camp, caught up with old friends, met some new ones already, and now you need a little something special to get your groove on, and into the spirit for the HEFFtastic week ahead....and we have just the band for that...new to HEFF, and opening our festival with their uplifting, energetic instrumental flamenco/rumba vibes, it's award-winning Spanish guitar duo De Fuego, here to feed our senses!

"De Fuego are just something else. Totally humble and unassuming as individuals, but don’t let this deceive you! From the second the first pluck hits the airwaves
you’re swept away with their passion"

Here's their official music video for Hummingbrid - do take 3 mins & 47 sec time out to enjoy the moments, and look forward to feeling these warm-hearted passionate vibes at Newark Showground in 73 days!!!!!

Just a little update - #HEFF2018 is now officially our biggest festival to date - 150 day tickets & 850 week tickets have been issued by email 😮

Thank you all for this massive vote of confidence in our volunteer-led efforts

Thank you to all the volunteer board members, co-ordinators, crew, workshop providers, conference speakers and YOU, the ticket holders!

And we have more live acts to announce - new acts we haven't seen at HEFF before - and a very cool panel discussion between a very engaging well known scientist and an equally engaging best selling kids science fiction author AND great speakers for The Home Education Conference, and groovy movies and short films in the Cinema Tent, and news on our youngest DJ to grace our stage...and probably other things that in our happiness we're forgetting to mention!

We are compiling a timetable, it will come soon (helpful for all you day ticket holders, we know) but we are still receiving workshop offers, more people = more workshops!

It's pretty full on!

There are tickets still available but we are now nudging towards capacity so do book sooner rather than later

See you, and hopefully blue skies like these, in Newark in 80 days, 9 hours & 19 minutes

***LIVE ACT ANNOUNCEMENT***

Funke and the Two Tone Baby is back for #HEFF2018 - we can't get enough of this top fella's one-man electro blues sonic explosion and those very groovy toons delivered with his charismatic & engaging flair for combining guitar and harmonica with beatboxing and effects that seamlessly collide the organic with the mechanical to create a fresh sound of unstoppable rhythm and unrelenting melody!

Tom Robinson at BBC Radio 6 called the opening track, on Denizen, Funke's 3rd album (out now), ‘a ranty, declaratory, lo-fi peach of a song’!

He'll be bringing his merch with him, but why wait?

*Workshop Announcement*

Build a Bot - Learn electronics and coding. Find out how to assemble a two wheeled robot, wire it and program it. Zachary will support you in all steps if needed and you can code the robot to carry out smart behavior - like seeking light or shadow. Or to be remote controllable with a phone. The skills you gain will help if you choose to buy the parts and recreate the project at home.
