The Big Ask at Wychwood Festival

Where do you find sunshine, smiles and stilt walking cops? At the Wychwood Festival.

Watch the video

Even the local policemen signed a Big Ask postcard

The Big Ask returned to Cheltenham to get people to send postcards to their MP calling for a strong climate change bill. But we sneaked off to watch when the Fun Lovin Criminals played.

After the gig Huey shared his thoughts on the Big Ask.


I think if people come together and tell their representatives what they want and how they want their part of the world to be they can affect change.


Huey Morgan, Fun Lovin Criminals

 

The Big Ask team also got to the front for the Levellers.


Personally I think the Big Ask is a fantastic campaign and needs the support of absolutely everyone. For the sake of my little daughter, and for everyone else with children.

 

Mark Chapman, The Levellers
