No worries, no work, no mud or tents or wellies, but one of the best and biggest weekends of your life.<|}p>

There&rsquo;s more to our Big Weekenders than big-name acts and headline moments. While live performances sit at the heart of our massive weekenders, our daytime experiences add an extra dimension of fun, so you can play all day and night<|}p>

ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT

Imagine a party where the lights are flashing, the beats are fire, but all you hear is… silence. Yep, you read that right. Welcome to the Silent Disco. Grab a set of headphones, pick from THREE banging channels, and party on your own terms. Whether you're vibing to classic throwbacks, massive anthems, or something a little more underground – the choice is yours.​ Just be sure to whip those headphones off for a second... it’s like a karaoke contest gone wild!

Our favourite weekend pastime? Bottomless brunch! That’s why we’re introducing it on selected Big Weekenders. Whether you're looking to refuel after a night of partying or just fancy some bubbles with brekkie, head to The Diner for free-flowing drinks, throwback beats and delicious eats.  From just £32.50pp for 2023 weekenders and £37.50pp for 2024, you’ll get two whole hours of unlimited prosecco, beer, cider, soft drinks and a selection of cocktails. And that’s not even the best part. You can mix and match your drinks! The food's pretty amazing, too.  Choose from a range of breakfast dishes, including American-style muffins loaded with crispy bacon, sausages or eggs. If brunch isn’t your thing, then opt to build your own burger instead. As you satisfy those mid-morning cravings, our resident DJ will spin diva anthems and party classics. Prosecco, anyone?
