Big Phat
40th
Bands. Void Install Rave. Sauna. Wales.
So that's what we're doing. Three days at Three Pools — a world-class permaculture farm in the foothills of the Black Mountains. Bands from 2pm Saturday, rave in the barn 10pm–4am. Sauna. Farm food. Proper bar. £90 a head covers the costs. No profit. Just Phil's birthday.
I'm In — Get a Ticket141 acres in the foothills of the Black Mountains. Renovated barns, a Void soundsystem install, three indoor dancefloors, a d&b PA for the stage, sauna, licensed bar, kitchen, camping fields, and eco cabins. This is not a field in a car park.
Bands on the outdoor stage from 2pm to 10pm. Then the rave barn opens — Void soundsystem — and doesn't close until 4am. Two worlds. Equal fire..
Three Pools has proper camping facilities — not a festival mudpit. Everyone stays on site. Hot showers and clean toilets. Bring a good sleeping bag: October nights in the Black Mountains are cold.
Flat grass pitches, fire pits, hot showers, and proper toilets. Bring your tent and a solid sleeping bag.
Space on site for campervans and motorhomes. Register your vehicle with Phil when you buy your ticket.
Only 6 bell tents available at Three Pools. Pre-pitched, beds and bedding included. Book directly with the venue at threepools.co.uk — these will go fast.
Handmade eco cabins sleeping 2–4, built from locally-sourced materials. Check availability at threepools.co.uk.
On-site sauna. Available Saturday and Sunday mornings. Essential.
October in the Black Mountains. Bring layers. The rave barn will be warm, the walk back at 4am will not.
Everyone stays on site for the full weekend. It keeps the headcount right and the vibe right.
The farm is stunning — lots of space for little ones and dogs during the day. Have a chat with Phil about the night situation.
Three Pools grows its own food on site — fresh farm produce sold throughout the weekend. Self-catering is totally welcome, and BYOB is allowed back at the campsite.
Fresh produce grown right here on the farm. Honest, seasonal food throughout the weekend.
Bring your camping stove. Cook your own. The more the merrier around the campfire.
Everyone together on Saturday before the bands kick off. Farm food on site.

£90 covers the costs. Phil is not making a penny. But the numbers need confirming so he can plan — don't leave it. Glamping and eco cabins are separate, direct with Three Pools.
