If the word 'festival' conjures up images of muddy wellies, soggy burgers, tattooed teens and chemical toilets, then The Big Chill events may persuade you to think otherwise. More of a weekend away than a festival, The Big Chill was the first to pioneer the concept of the 'boutique' festival and cultivate a loyal following of ?Chillers? who return year after year.

The festival is set up to make life easy, with plenty of good facilities and other hallmarks include an eclectic and soothing mix of music and art, banging party tunes for the footloose, high quality visuals, a diverse and exotic range of food stalls and a Body & Soul field with healers, masseurs and alternative therapists.

Both quiet and family camping is available on site and there are clean covered dining and cooking areas, as well as quality edibles for those too chilled to cook!
