Unfortunately, Freaks is no longer managing to meet four times a year for want of organizers. However:
Next Event:
Hope, March 27–29th 2026
30th anniversary and 100th Freaks
We will be based in Loxley Hall, Market Place, Hope S33 6RH.
Details to follow, but save the date!
Cost
The cost is: £10 to sleep in the hall or car park, plus £10 for the event. If anyone is just popping in for a while we'd be grateful of a donation. Please bring cash! The cost of hall hire has gone up recently and we need to be able to cover this.
Notes
- The charge for attending Freaks is £10 per head.
- Dance and music notation are available from here (dances) or here (tunes) – feel free to suggest others. Please download these if you want them, though some paper copies might be available on the day.
- If you have any good pictures, please send them to Freaks@freaksinthepeaks.com for the photo gallery.
- If you're ‘indoor camping’ in the hall, bring a sleeping bag, camping mat or air bed etc. for under it, pillow, and whatever you need for comfort.
- Unless it's very dry, bring footwear suitable for a muddy walk and waterproof jacket.

Following Event:
