"My husband and i attended for the 1st time this year for the two days at wiston ( husband is a pastor ) and we had such a great time and in the words of my 10 year old son whenever we got on site he said he felt "Bubbles" in his hearts - God's presence! huge thanks to all involved came away refreshed and seriously uplifted to carry on the good fight!"

 

"Had a fantastic time yesterday at Wiston House! Lou Fellingham, Israel Houghton and Tim Hughes were the musical highlights for me. The biggest highlight of all though was spending the whole day in worship to our awesome GOD! BIG THANKYOU to everyone who helped to make this event happen, already looking forward to next year!"

 

"yesterday's experience with Hillsongs, Israel Houghton and Tim Hughes was out of this world. It is definitely edifying and though a first timer to the event I am on the wagon for next year God willing.Thanks to all the people who organised the event- The portable loo and shower units plus the spectacular truck rides, bouncy castles etc was also quite helpful."

 

 

"Thank you for organising a brilliant event at Wiston House this year. Everything was fantastic - the bands (particularly Tobymac!), the road system, the facilities, the food - even the weather was pretty decent! You obviously learnt from last year (which itself was an amazing day) ... I cannot believe such a major event has found its place in little ol' Sussex - we are very very privileged to have this almost on our doorstep. "

 

 

"When you leave a concert saying JESUS IS AWESOME and not saying Brenton Brown, Tim Hughes, Toby Mac, Isreal Houghton and Hillsong was awesome, then you know that There are Artists who are Selfless and know that there is someone bigger than they are! Thank you BIG CHURCH DAY OUT and thank you to all the bands who lead us in worship of our soon coming KING!!!"

 

 

"Absolutely fantastic day, Hillsong Utd were inspirational, with their awesome worship music, thank you to all who organised this event, can't wait until next May..it's too long though! It had a profound effect on my 'not yet christian' friend!!!!!"

 

"disabled friendly, the stewards guided when there was possible obstacles for wheelchairs or scooters, spacious disabled toilets, pathways in most areas ,the fields are bumpy but usable. so if anyone else is worrying as i was about going, then don't - go and enjoy. "

"I'm new to being wheelchair dependent etc and up to to this event have found major obstacles and had to abandon the outings. So I really needed BCDO to work and it went beyond my hopes, ground is bumpy but usable in dry weather, the toilets great, wheelchairs can enter cabins, stewards helpful if any obstacle, and able to join family and friends enjoy a great day. I will pray you may get there next year and many more disabled who were not sure."

 

"It was an absolutely fantabulous day yesterday at Stanford Hall, great venue, great countryside views, great to meet up with old friends!"

 

"I took some friends from our church, our first time ever at this event; and wow, what a super day we had. Before we went, we prayed for the rain to go off, and that the Lord would put an invisible shield around the whole venue; and as soon as the bands started, and the praise went up, the rain just went off. The whole day was totally amazing, we are looking forward to next year; and a great time with other brothers and sisters in Christ, worshipping a fantastic wonderful amazing God."

"We came to the Big Church Day Out at Stanford. I felt compelled to get in touch because it was a fantastic day. The artists were awesome, but I really wanted to say thank you for the amazing organisation of the whole event. You had thought of everything from the kids, to food outlets, the market place. But also the little things like the steps over the wall in the second car park - they were fab. The temporary traffic lights to get out at night time - brilliant. I am an event organiser and I know how hard it is to think of everything and get it right - well you got it right and much more as well. Cannot wait until next year - certainly will be recommending it to everyone."

"I went to Big Church Day Out at Stanford Hall. It was Brilliant. Very well organised and no mistakes from where we were. Thanks for a great day and all the hard work was appreciated.  If you want to know if it was all worth it my niece became a christain when Hillsong United were Leading Worship." "We went to BCDO yesterday. It was brilliant and so well organised. No qeueing to get in or out or for the toilets and food. You did a marvellous job. Well Done!"   "Just wanted to thank you for another fantastic day, myself and my family came last year and had a great day , but were affected by the travel issues and  lack of on site catering. This year you really cracked it, we drove straight in at 10:30 am and drove straight out at 10.30pm  in between time we met with our God, through the worship, the prayers and the acting, what a fantastic day . Oh yes and we had plenty of food to choose from. Thank you to you and your team for all there planning and hard work, we are already looking forward to next year." "Everything we loved about last year was just as good again this year, and all of the problems we had with traffic had completely disappeared this year. I couldn't believe how easy it was - we literally drove straight onto site without any queues at all and got directed to the car park very easily. Then at the end, we left a little bit early (just like we did last year) and we just drove out of the site in under 2 minutes! Incredible! No traffic at all. I know it cost you a lot to get that sorted - but it made such a difference to us - brilliant!" "The day itself was fantastic - just so much going on it was difficult to see everything and do everything we wanted to see and do! Great lineup - really enjoyed Brenton and Tim Hughes at the start of the day, and the kids loved all the entertainment for them, bouncy castle, play tent, pony rides, big wheel. The facilities were perfect - the sheer number of toilets on site was amazing, meaning there were rarely any more than a few people waiting." "What a fantastic day! Brought my teenager and my 2 smaller kids and we ALL had a blast. Was amazing to see so many generations joining together and enjoying music and fun together. (My ears are still ringing) I know God was smiling on all His great family. Thanks for making it happen!" "We attended the event on 29th May - I have to say without reserve it was fantastic!  We met up with family from other parts of the country ranging in age from young babies through every age group up to the older members in their 50's and we had the most wonderful day - there was something for everyone and we enjoyed every aspect from playing footy on the field, the various acts, the tea tent, even the loos were great!  Thank you so much for putting this event on - we're already planning to be there next year." "Can't thank you enough...just the time of my life really - met with the Lord and was pretty much worshipping and giving thanks throughout the day - took a couple of families with us whose faith has drifted and we finished the day united, happy and focused on trying to lead the life Jesus has for us." "I attended The B.C.D.O both 2009 and 2010 and I LOVED IT!! This time I brought my atheist/agnostic and it completely moved him, he was crying at least twice throughout the whole thing and now he keeps talking about religion and the event so THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH FOR HELPING HIM ON HIS WAY TO FINDING JESUS!!!!"

"It may only be in its second year, but the Big Church Day Out is fast establishing itself as one of the best events in the Christian calendar. Assuming the strong lineups can be maintained, this is one date you need to mark in your calendar for 2011 - because it is going to be BIG!" (Dave Wood - Louder Than The Music)
