History
In 2009, the festival started as "Big Church Day Out", intending to present for one day, but it was extended to three days in Sussex in 2010, with an additional day in the Midlands version of the festival. The 2009 festival had 15,000 attendees, which increased in 2010 to 25,000. In 2011, the length of the festival was reduced to two days, and the number of attendees decreased to 20,000. Since 2012, attendance has returned over 25,000 people each year at the BCDO South festival in West Sussex.
