All about The Big Chill
The Big Chill festival is an annual event that takes place in Eastnor Deer Park. The Big Chill Bar and The Big Chill House are bars/venues located in London. There is also a label, Big Chill Recordings and festival/podcast radio Big Chill Radio.
Founders Pete Lawrence and Katrina Larkin started The Big Chill Sunday Social all dayers at the Union Chapel Islington in 1994,
The Big Chill is a whole experience that grew from those very small and insignificant beginnings as a one day event in Islington. It was a success and in the following year moved to the Black Mountains on the Welsh borders, it then moved again in 1998 to the Larmer Tree Gardens where it stayed for a few years and before holding a one-off event in 2001at Lulworth Castle.
In 2002 The Big Chill moved again - this time to its new and current home, Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire where it remains to date. It is - as the name suggests - a very chilled out experience. There are two main stages and they have a cash point machine, bars, food stalls, merchandise stalls, plus a 24 hour cafe. Alcohol cannot be brought into the main arena but is permitted in the camping areas although there is a strict policy of no glass.
One of the events main features is the arts trail which winds up a steep hill - well worth the walk and glorious at night. Be prepared for a really big chill out......this one's a really great festival - a Safeconcerts recommended festival.
