The Big Green Gathering and Bloom at The Big Chill
July 30th, 2009 by
Big Green Gathering update
Organisers of the Big Green Gathering received news last week that they were being forced to cancel the event at the last minute. We are now very pleased to announce that we will be welcoming Big Green Gathering ticket holders at this year’s Big Chill instead. Full story on their website here.
If you want to join us at this event you will simply need to turn up at the Blue Box Office with your wristband and the accompanying documentation, plus an extra fee to cover the difference in price between a Big Chill ticket (£145) and your Big Green Gathering ticket .
Green wristband – pay £20 to exchange your BGG wristband for a Big Chill wristband.
Blue wristband – pay £10 to exchange your BGG wristband for a Big Chill wristband.
Yellow – pay £50 to exchange your BGG wristband for a Big Chill wristband.
Red – pay £0 to exchange your BGG wristband for a Big Chill wristband.
Orange – pay £10 to exchange your BGG wristband for a Big Chill wristband.
Please note you will also need to pay £10 for parking if you come by car (please head to the Blue Car Park). It will then be made as easy as possible for you to enter the Big Chill with your Big Green ticket.
CONCESSION tickets will also be honoured as part of this deal, although again, an additional £20 will have to be paid (plus parking if you come by car).
We are not yet able to confirm what the policy will be on paid worker’s tickets.
CREW tickets do NOT fall under the terms of this offer.
If you are DISABLED and you now want to come to the Big Chill, please inform the Big Green Gathering in advance so that facilities can be arranged for you.
LIVE IN VEHICLE PASSES must also be bought for LIVE IN VEHICLE ACCESS to the Big Chill Festival. These cost £50 and are available to buy in advance from the Big Chill Bar and Big Chill House. There may also be limited passes available to buy on site from the Blue Box office, although this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
The Big Green Gathering will also be bringing along a few special features from their event. They’ll have a stall on site plus some of the speakers who were on their bill (including Jonathan Cainer) will be in the ‘Words In Motion’ tent.

Bloom update
We are sorry to hear that Bloom have had to cancel their event this summer. This has been a difficult year for small independent festivals…so we sympathise fully with the organisers, the artists, traders and last but not least the paying public. As we realise there are not too many Bloom tickets out there, and there is still room at the Big Chill inn we are offering the opportunity for Bloomers to become Chillers for an upgrade of £50.
All Bloom ticket-holders need to go to the Blue Box Office.
We are also aware that many Bloomers live in this neck of the woods (watch out for Big Chill Bristol bar opening Oct 2009), and as our events are only a week apart we hope to see Bloom ticket holders joining us at The Big Chill party!
Upgrade details:
Bloom adult weekend ticket + £50 = Big Chill adult weekend ticket
Bloom 5 to 12 child weekend ticket + £0 = Big Chill child weekend ticket
Bloom day ticket + £25 = Big Chill Sunday only adult ticket
