What We’re All About…

Brought to you once again by the dedicated local team led by Jack Fry (Fry’s Events and Catering) & Dave Monk (Clockwork Audio Systems)

The Big Tribute Fest (2022, 2023 & 2024) – Bringing three days of pure musical nostalgia to Central Park, Plymouth following a successful first launch in 2022 (5-7th August).

Billed as “the UK’s freshest weekend festival”, The Big Tribute Fest brings together some of the best tribute acts around, performing hit after hit after hit. And, with a 4,500-capacity tent, there won’t be a muddy field or pair of soggy wellies in sight!

The event, opposite The Life Centre, is very different to other major festivals. The organisers, local businessmen Jack Fry and Dave Monk, want to keep admission prices down to a minimum, while all the quality food outlets and bar are local – again, prices are being kept as low as possible. The tent has open sides in some sections and there will be places to sit outside to enjoy a drink and a meal in comfort.

While all three days are family-friendly, the Friday is particularly aimed at creating a fun family vibe, with face-painting, bouncy castle, and fairground rides.

The bars sell ice cold draft cider and beer and there will be multiple choices of spirits.

Jack said: “You’ll even get ice and a slice of lemon or lime in your gin! We speak personally to all our vendors, and we have choose not to have any national outlets. There is attention to detail that you don’t get at most big festivals.

“And we are not charging festival prices; we are looking at reasonable prices for a drink. This is really, really, important to me, to make this festival as accessible as possible for people. We just want people to come along and have a great time in a friendly environment.”
