E4 UdderBELLY's Pasture
The UdderBELLY in The PastureIn 2007 Bristo Square once again became E4 UdderBELLY's Pasture, full to overflowing with kitsch colours, vibrant crowds, glass cows and a buzzing al fresco bar. The centre piece of the Pasture was the impossible to miss E4 UdderBELLY, quickly named "The best new venue of the year" in 2006 by The Sunday Times.

The E4 UdderBELLY was joined again by the splendid Cow Barn, and new in 2007, McEwan Hall was opened up to host the Glastonbury hit, Silent Disco. We also had site-specific shows in Bristo Square in a shipping container, a porta-loo (the "Porta-Moo"!), and the back of a truck.
