The Bee Gees Fan Weekend 2024, Thame.
Once again, a weekend will be organized for all Bee Gees fans to come together.
Dates: October 4 -5 -6, 2024. Place: Thame, Oxfordshire, UK.
Many of you have known each other for as long as we have known The Bee Gees, or may have met each other somewhere on the internet but never in person, others have been regularly visiting each other in person for years to have a nice time talking about The Bee Gees, etc.
There will again be a fan weekend to join together this year. It will be held in Thame, Oxfordshire, UK, a cute English town where Bee Gee Robin Gibb happily lived for many years and where his family still lives today.
The lovely small Thame Museum, run by volunteers has a special Bee Gees / Robin Gibb department and is organizing the fan weekend in collaboration with The Gibb family from Thame.
So if you want to spend a weekend together with other fans from various countries in and outside Europe, then you should definitely come. Have nice chats with fans you know, meet other fans, maybe explore the area together, have a nice dinner or a delicious and typical English high tea one of these days and of course get together in the Thame museum, visit the resting place of our Robin and Andy’s memorial stone and of course there is still the possibility to visit various programs that will also be organized for interested fans on October 4 -5 -6 by the museum ( see below) and where here and there Gibb family members may pop up as well!!
If you feel like spending a few days in cute Thame with other Bee Gees fans, keep an eye on this website and read all the updates regularly on our Facebook group.
Below some program points that you can visit during the fan weekend,
