News for 2008

After five successful years of operation, with an estimated 20,000 attendances, the organisers have decided to take a year out in 2008.

It is incredibly hard work running a busy festival, and as volunteers we are entitled to take a summer holiday with our kids too every once in a while.

KICS next festival will be for the full weekend of 15th - 16th August 2009.  There will be a lot of changes and improvements. Hope to see you there!

Volunteers are always welcome.
