as 84 said they do a festival themselves in dorset, only been a few years though so I’d not heard of it before,
unfortunatley I do question their organisational skills – arranging a festival, advertising it and selling tickets before ‘realising’ they were booked for Bestival, :hopeless: then cancelling it – so waiting for new dates

Hi
We announced the event in november with tickets on sale, and Bestival contacted us in the spring to dicsuss booking us for their event. At this point with only a few tickets sold (which were refunded) it was decided that we should take on bestival and re-plan our festival, but to move a 3 day event forward in the season was too much to do, so we ran Bimble Party nr brighton, which was a great success and sold out.
Many thanks

Hi guys

Well i though i should step in and tell you what actually we have set-up seeing as your all trying to figure it out.

Firstly yes the PA is a 6K rig, we use top of the range Lab Gruppen Switch mode amps, which pull far less power than the rating. Switch mode amps can never pull the full electrical power as they peak and switch (very very different to the power usage of A class)

Also although the power rig can run the rig at full blast, its too loud to be inside the venue at that rate, so as with all well designed PA’s its run at around 3/4 of its capacity.

The 2,000Ah of batteries and electrical distro are built into our trailer unit which carries the venue around. We run everything at 230V using a the highest quality best efficiency Outback inverters. (we also have a second set of batteries on the truck for an additional rig for our crew).

All our lights are LED based with a custom built lighting rig providing 16 million colours for the stage lighting. The entire venue operates at around 2K when fully pumping out a headline band, and around 400-500W during the daytime.

In reply to the transport of them the main truck and trailer, and other vehicles all run on used recycled vegetable oil, therefore having zero carbon footprint.

We have designed everything to fit within our means to run a great show from the sun.

Finally, yes we do our own festival as well…. this year we did Bimble Party near Brighton (last weekend).

Hope this clears up any of your queries,
Many thanks
The Bimble Inn
