Regional Contacts

There's a strong, diverse and active Burner community in the UK, mostly centred around London. We're constantly putting on events or just meeting up for general tomfoolery. Along with Burners from all over Europe we put on a large Decompression party every year and a regional Burn in northern Spain.

The first stop for a British Burner should be the Euroburners website. With listings and a large wiki section, it's the starting point from which a lot of stuff gets organised. Also, there are the email lists below which we use to keep in touch with one another. The Euroburners also have a theme camp on the playa, Quixote's Cabaret Club & Bar.

Snowstorm is based in London and Russ is in the South West, but we are the Regional Contacts for the whole of the UK, so feel free to get in touch wherever you are - we like to see new faces.

Russ is also the Burners Without Borders coordinator for the UK, see the Related URLs below.

Recent Events:

There's an annual Decompression event in London every December, and we've put on many magical events at other times of the year, including Midsummer Night's Mayhem and Supacompression. Burning Pub, the regular meet-ups, happen monthly in London and Brighton and occasionally in Bath. Random social events happen all the time, like a monthly book swap and regular hoop classes, and occasional film screenings etc.

Also, Nowhere, the European Regional Burn, is going from strength to strength, and is now in its sixth year.

Please check back for even more information about the Burning Man community in your area. We're gathering more details — coming soon!
