Shack Attack at Sunflowerfest, Hillsborough

An exciting, unique outdoor  challenge event which will bring together teams of 4-6 people to create a ‘shanty town’ as part of SunflowerFest, Hillsborough on 1-2 August 2015.  Each team needs to gather scrap; used or donated materials prior to the event and then design and construct their own make-shift shelter on the afternoon of Saturday 1st August.  The challenge is then for each team to camp out overnight in the shelter they have built to experience a little of the hardship faced by millions of people worldwide every day.

Each team is also challenged to raise a minimum of £1,235, which is the average cost of a Habitat home in the developing world.  Funds raised will be used to support Habitat programmes locally and in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Shack Attack also has a competitive edge as teams will be judged and prizes awarded for fundraising, shelter design & build and overall Shack Attack champions. All Shack Attack participants will have entry into the festival for the whole weekend (Fri-Mon) should they wish – ticket price is included in the non-refundable deposit of £60 per person.
