History[edit]
In 2009, the festival started as "Big Church Day Out", intending to present for one day, but it was extended to three days in Sussex in 2010, with an additional day in the Midlands version of the festival. The 2009 festival had 15,000 attendees, which increased in 2010 to 25,000.[citation needed] In 2011, the length of the festival was reduced to two days, and the number of attendees decreased to 20,000.[2] Since 2012, attendance has returned over 25,000 people each year at the BCDO South festival in West Sussex.[3] After two consecutive years of the festival being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival returned in 2022 under the name 'Big Church Festival', with an expanded site and 40,000 attendees.[4]
