The JOY that is TROYfest

Once again the event of the year, for all inhabitants of the Diff, came around and did not disappoint! 

We were TEAM DECOR along with a couple of our good friends, and started planning making Troyfest beautiful back in October... It was one of the biggest tasks we’d ever taken on as it’s such a massive area to cover, and sticking to a budget it had to be as cheap and effective as possible!

We spent most of our Saturdays in scrap stores and flea markets looking for props and materials, trying to use as much recycled material as possible and avoiding buying new.

Recreate in Cardiff was a god sent, as you can go and fill a bucket full of recycled crap and turn it into something beautiful!

The theme this year was ‘In the Garden’, and we lost count of how many flowers and leaves we made... One of the most effective ideas was the JUNGLE BUNTING as one of the rooms in the manor house was named The Jungle Ballroom, exciting no? We cut out hundreds of leaves from anything green we could get our hands on, attached them to rope and hung them up high around bannisters and anything we could tie them too! It was such a simple idea but so effective, exactly what you need to transform a space.

It was a massive learning curve, teaching us to consider all aspects of decor and props, what works and what really doesn’t!

Troyfest would not be Troyfest without the people. We spent an amazing 10 days in Baskerville Hall, sleeping in bunk beds, making all day and ending usually in the bar with a few beers! We had the most fantastic team of volunteers who travelled up to help us out a couple of days before the festival started, and everyone worked so hard, we were so chuffed.

MASSIVE thank you’s to our amazing team and volunteers, we could not have done it without you! Can’t wait till next year!!!

TROYFEST!!

Festival season is almost upon us and the first major date this season for us is Troyfest.

This magical weekend takes place in a manor house not far outside Cardiff and has two costume themes each year. This year Friday is 'Disco Onezies' and Saturday is 'Space and Time'. Populated mainly by the night owl's and bar fly's of Cardiff and the surrounding areas it really has a community feel as most people know each other. 

With everything from multiple indoor stages, outdoor marques, shops, food vendors, swimming pool, sauna, hotel rooms, woodland and real indoor toilets that flush (such a rarity at festivals) Troyfest really does have everything you could want from a festival.

Have a look at last years highlights below...

We will be trading along side Blue Honey Vintage at this years festival. You can expect an array of items that fit in with the costume theme as well as loads of great items that are just brilliant anyway.

If the last few years are anything to go by, this is going to be the highlight of the summer.....

...see you there!
