Bloom’s new location, "Seven Springs", set in the heart of the
Gloucestershire countryside just outside of Cheltenham and is
thought to be the exact location where the River Thames
originates. The new site is ideally located - just 2 miles
from Cheltenham and 5 mins drive from junction 11a on the M5.
The land Bloom is using is situated on a ridge which overlooks
the City and has panoramic views of the Malvern Hills off in
the distance. It really is quite a beautiful spot and Bloom
hope to make Seven Springs their home for the foreseeable
future.

“Bloom was bloomin’ marvellous. Good organisation, groovy
crowd, diverse entertainments. Coldcut loved it. We’ll be back.”
MATT BLACK - COLDCUT
This year Bloom will attract some 8,000 young and stylish
individuals to the UK’s most exciting outdoor event as it is
part of the new breed of boutique festival that has emerged
over the last 5 years, bucking the trend of large scale, over
crowded and over commercialised outdoor events.
Bloom will provide a packed programme of the best music and
entertainment from around the globe; showcasing a unique blend
of new and established groups, artists, DJs and labels
covering electro, house, hip hop, folk, indie, rock, jazz,
funk, reggae, dub, breaks and drum&bass – to name a few!
Offering a rounded and quality festival experience with high
end local, organic food concessions, luxury onsite
accommodation, excellent on-site facilities, comedy, cabaret,
film screenings, interactive media, theatre, workshops and
family-friendly zones Bloom will explode into carnival of
colour and free expression this summer.
