Perfect for those hard to buy for loved ones.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably in need of Christmas gift inspiration and you’re perhaps feeling a tiny bit anxious at the prospect of getting someone a present they won’t actually appreciate or remember

We’ve all been there, unwrapping a beauty gift set with two body butters we’re only ever going to use in emergencies when we run out of the one we really want, pointless gadgets we know we won’t get round to buying batteries for, or that stop working after the first couple of weeks! Chocolate boxes we just don’t have the heart to tackle on Christmas Day, sometimes, Christmas can feel like an exercise in simply accumulating more stuff.

For that reason, the perfect present doesn’t have to be a physical product. Experiential gifts will be remembered long after the season of indulgence has passed and show that you’ve put time and care into picking something truly personal. They’re increasingly popular, something that can perhaps be attributed in part, to our desire to cut back on unnecessary waste.

One in five Brits planned to buy experience-based gifts ahead of Christmas 2018, according to research by Barclaycard , spending an average of £129 each – a rise of 115% on the previous year.

Live Music Experience

Our answer is spoiling your loved ones with tickets to The British Country Music Festival that takes place from the 4th-6th September 2020. The festival is held indoors in the stunning Winter Gardens Blackpool, with five stages including the iconic, beautifully gilded and candle lit Empress Ballroom.

The festival is a unique celebration of the rapidly growing new country music scene and there has never been a more exciting time to enjoy the plethora of amazing, homegrown talent that has made the UK recognised around the world as providing some of the leading singer-songwriters of quality country and Americana music.

Here at The British Country Music Festival we are proud to have created a family feel for both guests and artists during our first year. All the artists loved playing in Blackpool and particularly enjoyed the opportunity to mingle and talk with the fans.

Because the venue is indoors, it means our guests are not at the mercy of the weather, they have plenty of seating, toilets with running water and dedicated bars with no queues.

Weekend tickets are exchanged for wristbands that let the wearer come and go as they please over the three days. So not only do you get to experience the festival, you can also enjoy Blackpool’s attractions and step outside into the town centre for a spot of shopping!

Of course this offer is also perfect if you want to spoil yourself, why should the relatives get all the fun?

Lasting Benefits

Your gift will bring joy to your loved one on Christmas Day and it won’t just get put in a drawer on Boxing Day and forgotten about.

There will be anticipation throughout the year and anticipation is a pleasure based emotion that is beneficial for our brains and even our physical health!

The power of music is an incredibly important and unique tool that aids the human experience. When added to a social gathering where people from all walks of life have come to celebrate this art together, it becomes a leveller and a mutually enjoyable experience across all cultures. Going to a music festival not only makes you happier, it can change your life. One of our guests last year bought a ukulele and has taken up singing

Perhaps the biggest benefit your gift will deliver is the hugely important support of UK musicians and songwriters and crucially new, emerging talent. All musicians need live gigs and a public platform in order for their music to be heard and to attract a fanbase. Live performances create lasting memories.

See our reviews from guests who enjoyed the 2019 festival. Your gift will provide memories for many years to come.
