BLOC is a new kind of festival, held inside a state of the art holiday resort complex on the West coast of the UK.

There’s no camping, because all BLOC family stay in luxury apartments surrounding the main indoor auditoriums for three nights, so no need to worry about the weather.

All you need to do is focus on the BLOC. It’s better that way…

*** You can now check-in on Thursday ***

*** Gold, Silver and Bronze apartments awarded on a
first-come, first-served basis ***
