BOTS2022 came back with one almighty bang! The festival is brought to you by a team of unsung heroes who are mostly volunteers that work their buts off before, during and after the event. So thanks to every single person involved with putting on a fantastic weekend and thanks to you Barlick, for just being there and making it is what it is – spectacular!
