We’ve been throwing our big annual bash at Eastnor Castle Deer Park for the past 7 years, offering Chillers the chance to explore and enjoy the 300 acres of the estate set aside for their use, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the festival, but there is also peace and quiet to be found in the nearby castle grounds.

The castle grounds are open to visitors over the festival weekend and we have arranged a 50% reduction in the entry prices for Big Chillers on Sunday 10th and Monday 11th of August. Simply keep your Big Chill 2009 wristband on and present it for half price admission!

Here are just a few of the castle’s attractions:

• Estate Life Photographic Exhibition
• Valley Lawn Picnic Area
• Knight’s Maze and Children’s Assault Course
• Adventure Playground
• Castle Terraces Overlooking Lake
• Lakeside and Woodland Walks
• Children’s Fun Worksheets

Ever wondered what Eastnor Castle looks like close up, rather than at one end of the festival site? Click over to the Eastnor Castle website to view their galleries. There are also some great pics on Flickr, as well as some fantastic aerial shots on Panoramia.
