The biggest issue for EMF is to find a good site. Here are our requirements, in order of priority:

  • At least 3-8 hectares/8-15 acres/0.03-0.06 sq km (this should fit at least 1500 people but this isn't indicative of our planned capacity)
  • Good access for setup vehicles (no low bridges, for example)
  • Ability to get a good internet connection (1 gigabit+) (but please let us know of any potential sites and we can work this out)
  • Pleasant enough you actually want to spend time there
  • Good transport links
  • Near largish shops (e.g. large Tesco)
  • Some kind of water supply/sewage connection
  • Well drained
  • Space for parking

We don't care about:

  • Existing electricity supply (it's probably more hassle than providing it ourselves)
