We like these guys👍
Looking forward to seeing Rachael & Ash from Great Scott doing their own thing😎
WOW! Thank you Daniel Butler for the great picture
Here we go😎😎😎😎😎😎
Once again we are blessed with perfect weather for a perfect day😎😎😎#bno18
So in the best interests of our “sporting” BNO ticket holders we bench tested the TV set up today, great picture and great sound😎 The sun is high in the sky though so bring a hat if you are amongst the hundreds coming early tomorrow for the big match⚽️
Game on! Following many requests, yes we will have the England match on this Saturday both in the clubhouse and on our brand new 65" 4K Screen outside on the veranda. Gates will now open at 2.30 for anyone with tickets for BNO18 who would like to arrive early for the match! The bar will be open early too 🍻😎
Big Night Out FAQ's are now on the website plus the very important map for the one-way system that will again operate on Saturday👍
Just 7 days to go and our 3000 ticket allocation is running out😎 You have been warned!😉
Most of our village will be attending Big Night Out so no need to ask who’s playing the great live music Great Scott😂
You can’t miss it!😉 Just 4 weeks to go😎 #bno18
We are very lucky to have Rachael Hawnt and her band Great Scott performing at this years Big Night Out. So you won’t be surprised to hear ticket sales are at already at a record high😎
Wow, tickets sales have gone through the roof since going on general release this evening at 5.00pm😳 Clearly BEN - The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute is proving very popular with our BNO regulars😎
This years headline act is MICHAEL starring Ben, A Live Stage Show and tribute to the music of Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5. With an incredible live band, stunning costumes, iconic dance show and the World's Number 1 Michael Jackson soundalike, this show promises to create the most authentic, lively and powerful re-creation of the iconic superstar to leave even the most die hard MJ fans crying out for more! Supported by Great Scott who's lead singer Rachael Hawnt recently appeared in the final of the BBC Talent Show All Together Now! Willie Austen is also back with his unique talent so we have something for everyone!
Good luck Rachael🤞
What a perfect night, great weather, great music and OSB headlining�
What a fantastic afternoon/evening.
Andy was a superstar for making sons birthday extra special and to top it off football was played before the show started .
Thank you andy and your team for making it a night to remember.
See you all again next year.
What a brilliant music event. The weather was perfect and in such a beautiful setting too. We dance from the beginning to the end of the evening and will definitely look at going again and will invite friends too next time.
Well organised, Great Vibe from people of all ages, and a great mixture of Music through out the day well in to the late evening. A not to be missed event!
Well done Gary and team, it was a fab night - one of the best, and a fab summer evening to go with it.
Very good and friendly place all enjoyed it even kids will defo do again and toilets very clean to which was nice specially for the lady's 👍
Thoroughly enjoyable evening, really well organised and great fun!
Thanks from One Step Behind to all of you for giving us such a great reception tonight.
And to all the brilliant bands who were on before us.
Special thanks to Nigel for booking us and for your great hospitality.
And the brilliant sound crew who were faultless.
Hope we can do it again in the future.
Many thanks Madehurst. We had a blast, and we hope you all did too.
Big love!

Simply Blown away.
I really don't think 'excellent' does the Madehurst big night out enough justice, it is just so well organized, from the layout (plenty of space for everyone) to the super clean and posh bathrooms to the stunning setting.
The night was just perfect, the support act were excellent with the headline 'Ben' a tribute to Michael Jackson being as good as ever (seen him a few times now).
The mood and ambience were fun and friendly but most of all with the presence of security you were made to feel safe (you certainly let the rug rats of the leash)
Although the usual catering is provided you are more than welcome to bring your own food and drink which is great for a night on a budget or having to spend weeks in advance devising ways to sneak in your favourite tipple.
Our night was made extra special by one of the orginazers arranging something truly special for my sons birthday (nope it wasn't a shout out but they did that also).
This event and its orginazers went SO far above from what I would expect from a national (let alone local) festival it is just impossible to recommend enough,
Madehurst Big Night out and it's team behind the scenes - Thank you, you were AWESOME !
Second year at Madehurst and another great event.We arrived early having discovered that the football was being shown and enjoyed the ensuing celebrations - a party feeling remained all evening and the bands were fab. Well done to all those who organise this event.
Great night, again! A huge thank you and congratulations to Gary and his team for putting on such a professional event. Great venue, fantastic music and great loos!
(so upset by the mess you are left with to clear up. I cannot believe all the rubbish! Why can't people bring a bin bag and and bag it up, it is no effort.
Bring on next year!!!
Great night again - Great Scott and Willie Austen brilliant- good Michael Jackson tribute ( but lighting all wrong for those at the back stopped us seeing the “moves” but I am being picky!). Thank you to for putting the football on and the great Arundel beer �
First time at this event, great night, we had a fab time, spent a beautiful summer's evening with wonderful music. Definitely do it again x😉
Fantastic evening had by all the family and friends. Well done Madehurst another excellent event. See you next year.
Brilliant day/night. Well organised. Excellent acts. Fabulous atmosphere. Toilets were great too. Well done. Our third year and the best yet! Thank you to all involved. Looking forward to the next one already x
Always a great event, whatever the band, wonderful setting, lovely people, bringing your own picnic and drink but also having access to food and drink on site is awesome *****
Absolutely brilliant afternoon and evening.
This was our first 'Big Night Out', fantastic location in the heart of the West Sussex countryside - good selection of local bands and the excellent One Step Behind. Bring on next year.
Absolutely amazing event! The bands this year were fantastic, especially Great Scott and of course the headlining act, Michael (a tribute to the late great Michael Jackson). The headliners each year aren’t your typical tribute acts, they really are several cuts above. The whole vibe of the Big Night Out is truly special, aided always by the stunning setting and especially this year by the amazing weather! Really can’t recommend this event enough. Don’t worry about who’s headlining in 2019, just book your tickets the moment they go on sale!
Our second year with friends and we'll certainly be back next year. Every band was fabulous in their own right and of course the setting as usual perfect! Can I feedback some hopeful suggestions for next year that there seemed to be some sound issues at the beginning with Rumours of Fleetwood Mac and a few very, very drunk people at the front of the stage. Certainly don't want to add in expensive extra security, unless deemed necessary but is/should anyone be responsible for checking and addressing this if required?
