Brixton Girl Friday 4th Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th August, The Big Chill
Eastnor Castle Deer Park.

http://www.bigchill.net/

It's very difficult to sum up The Big Chill Festival in a few words.
Some use it to see as many great live bands and DJs as they can. Some concentrate on the visual art. Some like to dance the weekend away in the Club Tent. Some people hang around their tents enjoying sunshine, barbeques and the company of friends old and new.
Most people will do a bit everything, but the joy of it is that you can do whatever you like, and take in as much or as little as you want.
