Big Chill

Roundhouse Under Canvas at The Big Chill



 

This Summer the Roundhouse is going to The Big Chill Festival.  The Big Chill takes places at Eastnor in Herefordshire over the weekend of the 1 - 3 August and this year the Roundhouse will be hosting our very own tent - The Big Round Tent!


The Big Round Tent will be buzzing daily with media projects, music making and performances for any festival goers between the ages of 12 - 16, and a small number of Roundhouse volunteers coming with us. Those taking part will have chance to get creative and make films, take photographs and create a show for Big Chill Radio, and make some noise in percussion and singing jam and special performances on the Saturday night.

Have a look to find out what will be going on over the weekend.
