So am gutted to say we are having to postpone OffG So am gutted to say we are having to postpone OffGrid 2021 until 2022. Obviously the delay in easing of restrictions has put a fairly clear stop to the whole thing. 

I do want to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the people we work with to produce OffGrid.  These people are real soldiers and have had such a tough tough year, but they continue to laugh, adapt and help those around them. I thought the pic of @al_humphreys from a few years back summed things up. 

 @thedomecompany @oseaislanduk @green_yurts @ksseventproduction @barhouseevents @kerbfood @scriberian Thank you.and respect. We'll be back!!!
We're back! 14th-16th July Excitement doesn't even We're back! 14th-16th July
