Ambient Lounge Bean Bags

The sun was shining down at Eastnor for the 2007 Big Chill Festival and there was no better place in the UK to be than the beautiful rolling hills amongst a comfortable crowd of happy music revellers.

For the second year in a row, we teamed up with the wonderful Body and Soul community to provide comfy designer bean bags all day and all night long; perfect for those that sought refuge from the main stages.

Instead of a stand alone outdoor chill out area, this year we spread our conversion loungers and Studio Loungers around the front and interior of the wonderful Viva La Vida Café, which proved to be one of the hot spots of the entire festival. A combination of delicious food and (just as tasty) eclectic live music made the café a place to be from the early recovery hours of the morning until deep into the night.

For the Ambient Team, there was an overwhelming positive energy in the air which was both uplifting and refreshing in the wake of our busy lives. We'd like to thank all of those random Big Chillers and interesting characters who helped keep a smile on our face throughout the three days and nights.

A massive highlight was the questionable fashion wandering around the festival- which was so wrong that it was right! It was also nice to see some of the more up and coming music acts plant the seed of their aspiring careers with some inspiring performances.

Finally, a very special thanks to Avril Stanley and her dedicated and dynamic team of professional therapists & kindred spirits that make up the Body & Soul crew. They create 'Healing Areas' at festivals throughout the United Kingdom and abroad - involving all types of bodywork, workshops, nourishing food and music. You can visit them here (www.realease.co.uk) to find out more about what they do and get involved.

Its empowering to be around such creativity and we hope to be back again next year. We really do feel - literally - like part of the furniture.
