You know we love a festival at BOTI – especially one that involves a bit of a road trip (we do occasionally leave Brighton), dancing like nobody’s watching, and stuffing our faces in a field. Enter: The Big Feastival.
Just a couple of hours from Brighton, this weekend-long blowout takes over Blur bassist Alex James’ actual Cotswolds farm and it’s stacked with big-name bands, top chefs, raves, and more deliciousness than you can shake a spatula at.
And guess what? We’ve got our paws on a pair of camping tickets – and we’re giving them away to one lucky winner. No big deal, except general camping is already 90 percent sold out. So if you want in, this might be your only chance.
So, what’s on the menu?
On the music front: Alex James’ Britpop Classical is premiering (with several special guests, including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Reef singer Gary Stringer and Travis’ Fran Healy and Dougie Payne, for starters), Nelly Furtado, Faithless, The Wombats, The Cuban Brothers, Brighton faves Rizzle Kicks, and more.
Once the sun sets, the party shifts to the double-decker Cheese Hut (yes, that’s a thing) and The Outpost, with late-night sets from Artful Dodger, Dizzy Brasscals, Fatboy Tim, and Brighton’s own Woody Cook.
If you’re feeling peckish, you’re in luck: Raymond Blanc is heading up the Big Kitchen stage, with appearances from the Hairy Bikers’ Si King, Sunday Brunch’s Simon Rimmer and more. There’ll be live demos, workshops and hands-on classes to up your kitchen game – or just skip straight to eating. Expect curated dining experiences, open-fire feasts and a street food scene worth the calories.
There’s also a comedy and podcasts stage, Sean Williamson’s (aka Barry from EastEnders) legendary Barrioke, Strictly’s Oti Mabuse teaching dance classes, family raves, and an actual woodland spa (hello, hot tubs and cold plunges).
Good music, good food and good times sound like your bag? Just pop your email in the box below by 30th July and you could be heading to the Cotswolds with your best mate and a tent. Music, food, fields and cheese – what more could you want?
