On the weekend of 26th to 28th August Breaking the Frame is holding a ‘get-together’ / holiday at a small conference venue in a small village, 1 hour from Camarthen (by bus), in mid-Wales.

This event will be smaller (probably less than 30) and more informal than the Breaking the Frame gatherings in 2014 and 2015: an opportunity to talk about and organise around technology politics.

The programme will depend on what attendees offer. We expect the programme be less packed and with more time for hanging out/walking etc than previous gatherings. The village boasts a couple of pubs.

The venue has about 10 beds and 9 mattress spaces, plus camping space, and there is more space indoors if you bring your own sleeping mat/mattress.

Please read the notes below carefully before booking

Please note: For convenience we are using a Bristol-based events booking system (you can ignore the requests to share your data with Facebook). We are using the bank account of Human Genetics Alert (an organisation closely linked to Breaking the Frame) to handle the money for this event.

The ticket (£25/head) covers food and venue cleaning.  Please pay for accomodation when you arive – there is no fixed accomodation rate, the owner insists that people only pay what they can afford. 

After you have booked your ticket please email info@breakingtheframe to let us know:

• Your full name
• Whether you require a bed or a mattress to be reserved for you
• Whether you have any specific dietary requirements (eg vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc)

If you’d like to come, please book your place as early as possible.

Please also think about whether there’s some sort of workshop you’d like to offer and also whether you can contribute to the entertainment. And if you’d like to bring any friends please do ask them to book places too!
