From Hack Story

BarnCamp (2008-) is a yearly hacker camp in the UK, focusing on bringing together activists and the general public for DIY skill-sharing. It comes with a promise that workshops are not too technical, ensured by the "nerd gag" technique. The event is a primary meeting point of UK tech activists.

No BarnCamp in 2012.

BarnCamp 2011 - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as Be The Media and Network23.org. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. Here's some photos from the event.

BarnCamp 2010 - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled BarnCamp we focused on a turning down the tech to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life.

BarnCamp 2009 took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.
