There’s only one place that’s big enough to hold such an event in Minehead and that’s the famous Butlins Holiday Camp. In darker days I used to bunk into this camp for cheap holiday but things are much better now it’s been refurbished. That said, there won’t be much sleeping going on with the line-up the Bloc folks have sorted for the weekend.
