Nest 2022

Memberships on sale 30th Jan at 12 noon!

By | Nest 2022, Tickets | No Comments

Even though the weather is cold and rainy, we have some news to (hopefully) lift those January blues. Nest HQ has been hard at work these past few weeks, planning, plotting, and blowing the cobwebs off the great engine that makes this whole event work. 

We are very happy to announce that membership sales will be open next Sunday 30th January at 12 noon!

As in previous years, you will need to log in to Quicket and fill in your Burner Bio for 2022. Even if you have attended in previous years, you must do it again this year (we will be advising how in the next couple of days)! 

Nestlings with rolled-over 2020 memberships 

If you chose to roll your membership over in 2020, you do not need to buy it again this year. That includes parking tickets, so sit back and bask in the knowledge that your generosity not only helped us limp through to 2022, but that you don’t need to set an alarm for next Sunday! 

If you’re unsure whether you have a membership from 2020, please get in touch with us at memberships@burningnest.co.uk, and we can check for you.

Prices and capacity

We know these are two topics on everyone’s mind – how much, and how many? We have decided to keep standard memberships at £130 for 2022, the same as in 2020, and will be releasing two waves of memberships – one on 30th January, and another later on.

We may have the ability to increase our capacity this year, pending approval from the local council. However we would like to throw this decision out to everyone, and get your feedback – please join the conversation on Loomio to have your say.

Full details of all membership prices, and how to apply for an Inclusion, Carer or Starship membership, will be updated on our website shortly.

We need you for 2022!

By | Nest 2022, Volunteering | No Comments

We have a number of roles available this year, some more active at the event itself, and some that require commitment outside of the event dates too. Each role operates as part of a supportive team (we call them Circles), and is open to people with experience and people without – if you’ve always wanted to try something, now might be the perfect time! The teams we’re looking to recruit for in 2022 are:

  • Edge of Chaos: the navigators of bureaucracy, helping us secure all-important permits, organise logistical miracles and wrangle security and volunteers on site
  • Community: supporting community meetups, the glorious and welcoming gate greeters, and helping out with accessibility and family organisation
  • Arts: incorporating everything visually gorgeous about Nest, from decor to art grants, temple and effigy
  • Technology: looking after our website, solving membership issues, as well as solving technical problems in the great outdoors
  • Leave A Better Trace: a new circle created this year to leave our site better than when we found it, and explore how we can be more eco-conscious in 2022 and beyond
  • Cat Wrangling: someone has to connect all the dots, onboard and organise new recruits – could it be you? 

We are also looking for new members to join our board of trustees, as part of a major reworking of our constitution.
