The First Days Of Freedom Festival is a wild weekend for school leavers looking for a place to celebrate their exit from the birth canal of the education system and into the Real World. It's cheap, it's in a safari park so you can check out the animals as well as raving, and the line-up is fresh, replete with established greats and hundreds of unsigned acts. This is it's first year, but already it has a huge following thanks to the concept being born at the leavers parties in Newquay they started last year.

There is also the chance to get involved and play at the festival. If you are a musician, a beatboxer, clown, juggler, comedian, poet, dancer or entertainer you can send rough video footage (youtube links or video clips) to: Mmmaybesomethinggoodcancomeofallthismessingaboutallthetime
