Big Chill
Sarah Ryman
Sarah has been going to festivals for over 20 years and is now what you may refer to as a ‘festaholic’.
Her first taste of this crazy world was at the impressionable age of 18. She took a ride with some friends to a party and ended up climbing a fence in to a small event she’d never heard of. It turned out to be Glastonbury. She was hooked.
Becoming a mum opened up a whole new experience of festivals to Sarah and her partner Rob. Seeing the excitement of new adventures through the eyes of her children has rekindled their original magic. Rather than grow out of the festival life Sarah has grown with it. Over the years she has attended hundreds of festivals as a guest and also been part of the production teams adding that special sparkle at events including The Big Chill and Bestival.
Sarah’s background is advertising and when not in a field somewhere she now helps with Marketing and PR for those events she feels passionate about.
Sarah has written many times about enjoying life in a field with kids on her blog at a field somewhere and now writes for FestivalKidz; read her ’10 tips to enjoy (or survive) festivals with kids’ .
Big Chill Festival
Discontinued
Location: Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire
All indications are that the Bill Chill Festival will not return, with the organisers focussing on other events.
Big Chill 2012 cancelled
It has been announced today that the Big Chill 2012 festival has been cancelled. The following is on the Big Chill website;
“It is with a considerable amount of regret that I have decided not to go ahead with The Big Chill in 2012.
I looked long and hard late last year at moving the date so it didn’t clash with the Olympics but the mix of the festival fans desire to keep the date and an inability to find an alternative date that works I plumped for maintaining the existing weekend. Sadly, the artist availability and confirmations we were achieving led me to conclude that I couldn’t risk going ahead with the event as an outdoor event this year. Efforts are being made to look to bring a smaller event indoors this year with the anticipation of Big Chill being back outdoors in 2013.”
