The Big Chill

The Big Chill Festival

When: August 1-3

Where: Eastnor Castle, Deer Park, Herefordshire

What: Described as the festival 'where dance music went when it grew up', The Big Chill is well and truly into its teenage years and is a real cultural free-for-all with DJ sets, comedy and literature tents. 'The Big Warm' (storytelling and songs around a campfire), a late-night, outdoor cinema and Victorian funfair are all new this year. And as pioneers of new music through their record label you might even get to see some of the bands of the future.

Tickets: £129 for adult (over 15) weekend tickets. £129 for disabled weekend tickets (price includes complimentary carer ticket). £110 for student weekend tickets (must have valid student ID and student tickets include one year's membership to Amnesty International). £60 for a teen (13-15 year olds) weekend ticket. £5 for car parking. All tickets include camping.
