🌾🤠 BigDaySmallCountry Festival 2025 – Three Months To Go! 🤠🌾
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has already purchased tickets.
We're absolutely delighted to announce that over 50% of tickets have now been sold, and with three months still to go, excitement is really starting to build.
Three years ago, BigDaySmallCountry was simply an idea. A celebration of emerging music, the beauty of country life in Dedham Vale, and the power of bringing people together through shared experiences, great music, and community spirit.
Today, we're preparing for our biggest festival yet.
This year's event is twice the size of our inaugural festival and brings together an incredible collection of hand-picked artists from the worlds of Americana, Blues, Roots and Soul, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Suffolk countryside.
Picture yourself relaxing with family and friends, drink in hand, surrounded by straw bales, fairy lights, great food, and the sounds of some of the UK's most exciting grassroots artists as the summer sun begins to set.
🎶 Featuring:
⭐ Eddy Smith & The 507
A powerhouse live act blending Southern Soul, Blues, Rock and Country. Frontman Eddy Smith's rich vocals and magnetic stage presence have earned comparisons to Joe Cocker, The Allman Brothers and The Black Crowes.
⭐ Mim Grey
Described by Tom Jones as his favourite singer, Mim's effortless blend of singer-songwriter storytelling, country-soul and heartfelt melodies has captivated audiences across the UK.
⭐ BearFootSoul
Fresh from announcing new music produced by Paolo Nutini's producer and mastered by an engineer whose credits include Led Zeppelin, The Who, Eric Clapton and Peter Gabriel, BearFootSoul brings his powerful blend of Roots, Soul and Americana to Nayland this August.
And that's just three of the six fantastic artists joining us.
Beyond the music, there's something for everyone:
🦅 Falconry displays
👢 Line dancing
✨ Face painting and glitter stations
🍔 Outstanding food vendors
🍻 Fully stocked bars
🌾 Beautiful countryside surroundings
🎶 A welcoming atmosphere built around community, music and connection
For those looking to make the day extra special, our VIP Experience includes:
✨ Reserved parking
🥂 Complimentary prosecco on arrival
🪑 Reserved seating and table
🍻 Exclusive VIP bar access
🚻 Luxury toilet facilities
🎤 Artist meet-and-greet opportunities
And yes... we're pleased to confirm there isn't a portaloo in sight.
As BigDaySmallCountry continues to grow, we're incredibly proud that the festival also raises money for two wonderful causes: SANE, in memory of Robin Windsor, and Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA).
You can also keep up to date with festival news, artist stories and behind-the-scenes conversations by tuning into BackStage Whispers on Suffolk Sound at 8pm every other Wednesday. The next show airs on 3rd June.
With August fast approaching and tickets continuing to move, we can't wait to welcome you all to Nayland for what promises to be our most memorable BigDaySmallCountry Festival yet.
See you in the field. 🌅🎶🤠
