The Big Session campsite opens at 9am on Friday 15 June 2012 with music and family events from mid afternoon. Festival goers are asked to be off of the site by 12noon on Monday 18th June 2012. A Weekend ticket covers the whole festival but camping is extra. A Day ticket is for a specific day with Friday being a bit less as the music starts a bit later.
The Big Session grew out of the spirit of after-hours music sessions between artists and festival goers and started in 2005 at De Montfort Hall, before taking to the road this year and hosting a day at Devon's Beautiful Days it returns as a full three day event next year.
