Bloom’s new location, "Seven Springs", set in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside just outside of Cheltenham and is thought to be the exact location where the River Thames originates. The new site is ideally located - just 2 miles from Cheltenham and 5 mins drive from junction 11a on the M5. The land Bloom is using is situated on a ridge which overlooks the City and has panoramic views of the Malvern Hills off in the distance. It really is quite a beautiful spot and Bloom hope to make Seven Springs their home for the foreseeable future.Bloom have officially sold ALL of their Early Bird Tickets for 2008 which means that over 10% of their total ticket allocation is already spoken for.
