Bloc Weekend

Bloc Weekend

Bloc Weekend has been going strong since 2006, with their alternative choice to muddy campsites and open air stages. Set in Butlins holiday resort in Minehead, Bloc transforms the high-grade chalets and resort facilities into a fully-blown rave, combining the best bits of the ready-made holiday site with a program of music that'll blow the cobwebs from your mind. There's a total of six stages, covering all forward-looking styles of electronic bass music, with the latest mavericks as well as plenty of originators. Add to that the swimming pools and water slides, Minehead beach nearby, supermarket, newsagents, restaurants and fish and chip shops, as well as a 24 hour bar license, and a long weekend actually isn't enough time to fit it all in. Leave your preconceptions of the Butlins resort at the gate, and take a music holiday. Road bloc!
