Following the success of the inaugural HRH Prog festival at the Magna Centre in Rotherham last weekend, the second edition has been announced – at a new location.
HRH Prog 2 will take place at Havan y Mor, Pwhelli, North Wales, on March 20-23 next year.
And Chic Festivals boss Jonni Davis promises the change of site offers a better experience for prog fans.
He explains: “I’m keeping it all on one big stage with huge production – but there will be a second, unplugged, stage.
“The next thing to say is that the event will be warmer. It’s a private site with better accommodation options and better catering – there’s an a la carte restaurant, Papa John’s Pizza who deliver, Burger King, Starbucks and fish and chips. Everything is within walking distance too.”
Accommodation options include self-catering lodges and apartments, with shops, cash machines and bars offering real ales. Everything is packed into a seafront location not far from Portmeirion, where cult TV show The Prisoner was filmed.
“We’re extending the length of the experience too,” says Davis. “We’ll start with a Thursday night pre-party from 5pm until 1pm, including a bit of a laugh with prog quiz and bingo.
“There’s loads of extra-curricular things to do as well, including go-karts, archery, crazy golf, laser quest. All good stuff – and that’s before any of the bands have been announced.”
“HRH Prog had a great start in Rotherham. I’m determined to make HRH Prog 2 even better; a real full-on experience.”
