The Big Reunion's Once Upon A Time takes place on two back to back three day weekends in late November, at the Butlins resort in Skegness, Lincolnshire.

There will be six arenas kitted out in state of the art sound and light, featuring hand-picked and famous acts, DJs, 48 hours of music, visuals and interaction.

Promoters on site include Judgement Sundays, TwiceasNice, Tidy, Gold 'live', Trinity, Kissdafunk, Silent Arena, Kinkymalinki and Rogue 'live'. The acts on the bill include Judge Jules, Dave Pearce, Tim Westwood, Steve Sutherland, Alex Zane, Pat Sharp, Pendulum (DJ Set), and live acts including South Central, The Clik Clik, Roses Kings Castles, and The Enemy headlining! For the line-up details as available please click here.

The Saturday afternoon entertainment will also include comedians Alistair Barrie and Mick Ferry.

New to The Big Reunion is the Silent Arena. A silent disco where everyone gets a set of wireless headphones to listen to the music and then we have two separate DJ's playing simultaneously on two separate channels. Silent Arena will be taking place in Jaks on Saturday afternoon from 2pm-8pm.

This year at The Big Reunion they are hosting their own battle of the bands at The Skyline arena from 3pm on the Saturday afternoon. There are be 3 hand picked, individual unsigned bands on stage battling it out for the panel of judges from the music industry. After the competition they will all be around to talk, get feedback and sign autographs. The three bands will be Kids on Bridges, This Broadcast and The Snowbyrds.

Doors open at 12 noon on the Friday of the event, and closes at 8am on the Sunday of the event. The coaches will depart bang on at 12 noon on the Sunday, but you have to vacate your room by 10.30am. There is a £5 charge for car parking, if you intend on driving.

Please note that if you're booking with 2 or less people then you will be put in shared accommodation. In this case you will have your own bedroom for 2 people and bathroom facilities will be shared. Rooms vary in size for a minimum of 3 to a maximum of six people.

The facilities available on site are supermarket, splash pool, sauna, hydro spar, medical center, Burger King, pizza restaurant, take-away, 3 cash machines, Ladbrokes, Odeon cinema, ten pin bowling, and many other sports bars and restaurants.
