FULL WEEKEND 

The Big Session Festival is now in its fifth year at
De Montfort Hall and it has quickly gained a reputation for providing festival-goers from throughout the UK and beyond with a relaxed and environmentally friendly event that just gets better and better.

Between the main performances why not take a stroll around the stalls, or tickle your tastebuds with quality cuisine, or perhaps enjoy a drink from wonderful range offered at the real ale bar (which has its own stage which gives a platform to up-and-coming acts). The festival also features a full programme of craft workshops and entertainment to ensure that children have just as good a weekend as the grown-ups.
