Blissfields festival moves to Matterley Bowl

The Blissfields festival recently  voted the best small music festival in the UK Festival Awards is on the move.  The festival is moving to the bigger Matterley Bowl site near Winchester in 2008.  
The Matterley Bowl has played host to huge festivals such as homelands in the past,  but the blissfields festival will be a maximum 5000 capacity,  which is up from their 1000 in 2007.

Matterley landowner Peveril Bruce has permission to run several small-scale events on his land. The 5,000 limit on Blissfields means that the organisers do not have to submit a licensing application.

The Blissfields festival is likely to have a campsite and stages on the same site,  the Blissfields festival is scheduled for  July 4-6 2008
