And in case you missed it last time, The Big Chill House is nearly here! See you in a field or see you there!
The Big Chill House
Three floors of music, a south facing terrace for sunshine and moonlight, comfy seats, balconied dining room and bar, cosy nooks and corners, tables floating over beds, eye-catching artwork, original décor and loving attention to comfort. Welcome to The Big Chill House!
We've turned a listed building in London's King's Cross into a space where we can celebrate The Big Chill festival spirit, all year round. This is our space to present some of the things we love, from music and performance to AV and digital media.
All the floors and areas at The Big Chill House are named after familiar places; so we hope that you enjoy navigating yourself around The Love Inn, Finlandia Cabin, Naxos Nook, Enchanted Bar, Lulworth Lounge, The Snug and outdoor Terrace.
Doors open on Thursday 17th August, with a packed weekend of entertainments including the launch night party featuring Bent (live), Pete Lawrence, Ben Mynott and Michael Cook in the main bar, while Mixmaster Morris presents 'Loft in Space' upstairs. The party continues through Friday's scorching soul extravaganza 'Keep the Faith' with Andy Smith, Saturday's Nice Up! party, and the all new Hazy Sunday all-dayer... See you there!
