The Firegathering

1820 May

The Firegathering festival returns to an unidentified place somewhere in the Sussex countryside this May.The ticket price is a very agreeable 40,an amount that the organisers promise covers only the costs of staging the event.As well as the night?club singers and dancers and circus performers,you can expect live performances from local stars.If this looks like it might be right for you,you’d be well advised to book your ticket soonthe event has sold out every year since its beginning four years ago.

Sheep Music

2022 July

Sheep Music started life as a garden party and has developed into a full?scale(全面的) community event.Even though the advertising has always been limited to word of mouth,the huge number of people in 2005 left organizers worried that the large crowds could ruin the festival’s family feel.Luckily July sees the return of this brilliant party.The climax(高潮) comes in the shape of Saturday night’s full?scale parade(游行) and fancy dress ball that you just would not expect to happen in the other sleepy Welsh borders.

The Big Chill

35 August

Ten years on and The Big Chill could very well be close to becoming a big pop festival like Glastonbury.That saidthe many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty of music that would otherwise pass them by.Families have always been given a warm welcome and it’s fair to say that The Big Chill is probably the most child?friendly of all the medium?sized festivals.If you’ve never been,you should certainly go.
