What an outstanding weekend we’ve just enjoyed at Beat Bunker’s 10th anniversary! For the first time, we hosted the event at our beautiful new venue in Bodiam, East Sussex, where the stunning surroundings perfectly matched the intimate, close-knit atmosphere we’re accustomed to.

The weather was on our side, parting the rainy storms for the weekend and beaming down wall-to-wall sunshine both days, even treating us to a few sunsets for good measure. While the evenings were chilly, the warmth from the fire pits kept everyone cosy, allowing us to enjoy the festivities under the stars.

After almost five years apart, it truly felt like we picked up right where we left off. This was more than just another event—it was a gathering of like-minded people. From reconnecting with familiar faces to meeting new ones, everyone helped build the strong community spirit that defines Beat Bunker. True to our values, everyone respected the late-night sound restrictions and left the land better than they found it, leaving no trace behind.

The music was fantastic. Our talented grassroots DJs delivered sets that were just as engaging and dynamic as any big-name headliner. Their dedication and passion truly enhanced the dance floor experience.

Before this event, we had considered not hosting another Beat Bunker due to challenges in securing early commitments, especially with ticket sales and cash flow, which almost jeopardised the event. However, the amazing positive feedback from attendees has encouraged us to reconsider and find a way to make it happen.

Thank you to everyone who made this anniversary memorable. Whether you’re a long-time Beat Bunker attendee or you joined us for the first time, we hope you left feeling better than when you arrived—and if you did, then it was all worthwhile.
