The Buddhafield Café tent has been to many festivals and seen many things. It’s housed and sheltered many people, been a safe and secure space holding the wide breadth of experience that working for Buddhafield encompasses. It’s got a bit battered in over 10 years of adventures; over the last couple of years holes have started appearing, and more and more spots of rain are getting through.

Some our distinction decor, wrapped around the counter. You can see a nice bit hole has appeared in the canvas, bottom left

So, on the 25th January 2014, 6pm–10pm, the Buddhafield Café will be holding a fundraiser at Hamilton House, on Stokes Croft in Bristol to raise money to pay for a new canvas to be sewn, and hopefully for some new décor as well. We will be running a Dharma Dance session featuring DJ Floatijo, cutting an upbeat groove in world beats and reggae / dub. at 8.30pm we’ll have an auction where you will be able to bid on a range of items including:
