Celebrity Juice favourite Rufus Hound heads up the comedy with Kevin Eldon and Joel Dummet amongst a host of others.

Photography exhibitions will include The Big Picture exhibitions and Le Scratch presenting live art courtesy of St Martin’s emerging talent. That’s not all, with karaoke, silent disco, swing dancing and bowling, the huge range of entertainment will run from midday ‘til late.

Steven Endersby, Project Manager at WeGotTickets commented: “This is such a great event, raising money for a cause close to the hearts of us all here at the company.  The various entertainments on offer at The Big Mix are what we help to promote and sell tickets for here at WeGotTickets – all in one place, for one night only... it should be brilliant!”

Alex Blair, Macmillan’s Big Mix event organiser said: “We are hoping to raise £40,000 from this year’s festival and all proceeds from The Big Mix will go to help Macmillan make the difference between a good and a bad day for people affected by cancer, through giving practical, emotional and financial support.  Big thanks to WeGotTickets for their support and generous booking fee donations!”
