The National Bowl is a major entertainment venue in Milton Keynes. It's a massive outdoor arena that can hold 65,000 people and has played host to some very famous names and faces. Before it became one of the largest UK outdoor music venues, the site was a clay pit used for brick making. Back in 1973 a huge horseshoe shaped mound of soil left over from building roads in the new town began to resemble the amphitheatre we see today, based on the Hollywood Bowl.
