Barncamp2013-webheader.jpg

Barncamp 2013 is over now :-( But you can check out the Barncamp 2013 Media Page to find out what happened. The next BarnCamp will be taking place on 19th, 20th and 21st June 2015. Watch this space for more details soon.

Here's some documentation

BarnCamp is a low-cost rural DIY skillsharing event open to everyone, including UK activists, campaigners, people involved in social and community groups, and anybody else with an interest in technology and how to subvert it to put it to good use. All skill levels are invited and we promise that workshops are not too geeky due to our infamous nerd gag (though sometimes things slip under the radar).

The main workshop days of BarnCamp 2013 took place on the 7th, 8th & 9th June.

Workshop planning was organic and done on-site based on the amazing workshops proposed at this page and other suggestions brought by those who attended. If you've got an idea for a forthcoming event, propose it on our Mailing list or bring your idea along with you.

There have been four BarnCamps so far, we had a rest in 2012:

BarnCamp 2011 - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as Be The Media and Network23.org. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. Here's some photos from the event.

BarnCamp 2010 - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled BarnCamp we focused on a turning down the tech to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life. Photos, video and audio from BarnCamp 2010.

BarnCamp 2009 took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.
