    My mate did this for his 21st. Was immence. He had a big marquee, and decks, speakers and lights running of a petrol generator. We all just got totally winged in the middle of nowhere in this field with pumpin tunes. It was something else.

    Is there a risk of getting chucked out by the po-lice?

    As long as you have the permission of the land owner and you're not disturbing any residents you should be sweet.

    We used to have this sort of thing every July on a farm just outside the town, it went for like 7 years straight before it fizzled out and every year we had a theme, last one was sci fi characters....
    We had a makeshift swimming pool, grass volleyball, big bbq, large bonfire, fireworks, one of us works for a building company and he borrowed 2 generators... We took turns on the decks playing all sorts of shit...

    Best thing was all of us sitting round the fire in the wee hours of the morning playing weird games and talking shite..

    It was awesome!!

    Also, there were 3 neighbouring farms around us and we let them know about the party and invited them and it was cool. Plus it was in the middle of nowhere, i don't think the police would have bothered...
    Good luck!!

    A mate of mine did it for his 30th birthday... had no authorisation tho... and the cops came... while he was chatting with the cops his mates, members of his graffiti crew, went and put graffitti all over the cops van... funny as hell... luckily they only asked them to stop and didn't arrest anyone... but it is sure a birthday he will remember...

    Its still illegal under the 1994 Criminal Justice Bill, unless you have a licence. However if you do it a good few miles from any property, don't publicise it to every tom dick and harry, make sure people park their cars sensibly and tidy up after yourselves (including burying any shit - take a couple of shovels in case anyone needs a shit), then you should be OK
