Big Chill festival founder receives lifetime achievement award

THE organiser of a Herefordshire festival has finished a troubled year on a high note.

Katrina_LarkinBig Chill co-founder Katrina Larkin received a lifetime achievement award at the 2009 UK Festival Awards.

Judges praised her “vision and energy” during the ceremony at London’s O2 Arena last Thursday.

Katrina started the festival in 1994 and has won numerous awards during its 15-year history.

The festival – which has attracted the likes of Leonard Cohen and Orbital to the grounds of Eastnor Castle – is considered a template for smaller events.

But this year’s sales were down, and the event was bought by Festival Republic for an undisclosed sum in September.
