Bloom's new location, 'Seven Springs', is set in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside just outside of Cheltenham. The new site is 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 views of the Malvern Hills off in the distance. Bloom hope to make Seven Springs their home for the foreseeable future.
Expect a whole array of fancy dress, impromptu performance, ferris wheel, fire shows, installations, live art, bingo, 1920's DJs in full costume, circus acts, designated kid zones, a range of holistic therapies in the Bloom Vegetable patch, markets and a selection of quality, organic eateries.
