Greetings everyone! It has been a while since our last announcement but with Spring starting to sprout-forth, it's about time we invite you all to register for Tokonatsu 2023 while we celebrate our 20th Anniversary.
We are delighted to announce that registration will be opening very soon! Specifically, registration for the event will be opening on Friday, 24th February 2023 at 08:00pm BST.
In previous years, we have opted to use staged ticketing price increases as we get closer to the event. In order to encourage prompt payment and reward those that do, we have opted to take a different approach this year.

We hope you have all had enough time to get home safe and recover after attending Tokonatsu 2022. It sure was a warm one this time around and with all the public transport issues going on over the weekend, we hope you all managed to get home safely and in good time.
Regardless if you were there for a single day or the whole weekend, for the first time or as a returning attendee - the whole team here at Tokonatsu would like to sincerely thank you for attending our event. Tokonatsu wouldn't be what it is without you all and your continued support is greatly appreciated.

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended Tokonatsu 2021. It was a significantly more difficult event to organise than any other in order to ensure that it was safe and compliant with all COVID-19 precautions.
While we may have seen some of you attend the virtual event we hosted back in 2020, some of you we hadn’t seen since Tokonatsu 2019. We even saw a large amount of first-time attendees at Tokonatsu 2021.

We're officially in the home stretch now! We only have a week to go and so it's about time to start consider packing for Tokonatsu 2021. While you do that, here are some things to keep in mind and think about.
We had previously announced that Friday 16th July 2021 would be your last opportunity to register for Tokonatsu 2021. This is mainly due to arrangements and agreements between Tokonatsu and Central Bedfordshire's Safety Advisory Group along with our insurers in order for us to be able to run at all. These agreements were made well in advance with the assumption of being able to run in at least stage 3 of the UK government's COVID-19 road plan.

It's time for another update! We have lots of news to tell you about the upcoming event and so we urge you to please read through this new announcement in it's entirety.
This update also includes very important information regarding your registration and details on what to do on the day of arrival.
We are glad to announce that the Tokonatsu 2021 merchandise shop is officially open for business. If you plan on attending and want to swipe some swag to strut around in - act fast before it's too late!

Greetings from all of us working behind the scenes at Tokonatsu! We hope you are all keeping yourselves safe and healthy as we continue to deal with the ongoing effects of the coronavirus situation.
One thing that is certain however is that we are all working hard to make Tokonatsu 2021 a reality. We missed all of you last year but were so happy to see so many of you show up for the virtual event that we hosted. We would like to give a massive thank you to those that helped and everyone who turned up – it is the community members like yourselves that make Tokonatsu what it is.

At the end of February, the UK Government announced a roadmap for the lifting of the lockdown over the course of the next few months. This past weekend the Tokonatsu team held a meeting to discuss this announcement and how it could affect the festival this year.
I am happy to announce that currently, Tokonatsu 2021 is still running as planned. As expected, however, we will keep a keen eye on the current situation so that we can take any necessary action to ensure everybody’s safety.
