Big Chill Festival organisers are offering a new alternative to paying for your ticket this year – by partaking in a charity bike ride from Bristol to the festival site.
Taking place on August 4th, riders will begin a 70 kilometre journey from the south western city to Herefordshire, where they will meet with the rest of the 35,000 strong crowd and begin the festival.
If you want to take part, you’ll have to raise a minimum of £150, plus pay a £50 registration fee, which will be donated to Big Chill’s official charity partner the Kenyan Orphan Project, which is based in Bristol. On top of your weekend ticket, you will also be provided with a free limited edition T-shirt, free drinks on your ‘Tour de Chill’ ride, a hot shower and more importantly – a massage. If you’re a festival-goer in good shape, taking the ride up seems a no-brainer – a free ticket, and the good feeling of donating money to charity.
The Kenyan Orphan Project is a charity set-up to improve the well being of unfortunate children in Africa who don’t have parents to help support them – the project helps sustain decent health and education, as well as providing meals to them.
If you want to sign up to ride, check out the Festival’s website - also, if you live in Bristol and want to take part, check out the Big Chill Bar – every rider who registers in person at the bar receives a free glass of ‘Big Chill Punch’.
