Greetings to all who bought tickets for POTF 2025 and Big Thanks for the magic you brought to the farm.
Seems like a dream but yes it really happened !
Having checked and rechecked we can confirm POTF raised **£12,079.25** for Medecins Sans Frontieres Gaza Appeal.
The total includes several cash donations handed to us by kind folk.

One of the many reasons we love the Dead is for the countless benefits they played - POTF has been committedto this ethos from year one . By buying tickets you make it possible so Muchas Garcias.

We have decided to go again * Hey aint life too short …..* July 10-12th 2026

Strange though it may seem we don’t want to get any bigger. Small is deffo Beautiful.
More numbers means more stress and like everyone else we want to hang out and dance and talk between stage managing loo cleaning and assorted housekeeping tasks!

When we get our act together we will announce a ticket date.
In the meantime Love and Peace and may the light shine on you.

Will Darren Maya and all the wonderful volunteers who make POTF possible.
