A MUSIC festival expected to attract up to 10,000 fans is being held at Eastnor.

The Big Chill festival, on August 16-18, will feature top names from the world of electronic dance and ambient music.

Organisers, PK Productions, have been putting on events since 1994. This summer's festival at Eastnor is the biggest yet and will feature four stages.

"We work hard to find sites as beautiful as this," said organiser Pete Lawrence, "We work even harder to ensure we leave them that way. It's an honour being able to work with an estate like Eastnor. We have always dreamed of taking the Big Chill into spaces like this."
