PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE PARTY OF A LIFETIME!

Who would have thought three decades ago when it first began that the Caister Soul Weekender would still be running today, and not just running but stronger and more influential than ever. But it is!     2009 will see Caister reach its 30th Birthday and still with many of the original DJ team intact. (Although a few pounds heavier and all a bit greyer)

Although the actual site used to stage Caister has changed several times over the years, its home has always been in the Great Yarmouth area, where Caister still reigns supreme as the greatest and the longest running soul music event the world has ever seen. Furthermore Caister shows no sign of slowing down with virtually all of the original DJ team lead by Chris Hill, Froggy, Tom Holland, Gary Dennis and many more still involved.

The Caister Soul Weekender takes place twice each year, at the beginning of May (over the May Day Bank Holiday) again at the end of September/beginning of October, with other special one-of events at other times. It is held at what has now become its ancestral home at the UK’s premier privately owned Holiday Centre, boasting many superb facilities hardly dreamed of during the early years of Caister. Many of the regulars that still attend Caister and will be at this years events are the same soul survivors from the early days of `79 through the eighties. One of the key successes of Caister is the great party atmosphere and for the great mix of people and friendliness at every event, making it truly a real Soul Family.
