Following the success of this summer's 23,000 sell out event, organisers are already working towards next year and have revealed a few early plans.

The Big Chill website states: "New additions include a return to our roots with an outdoor ambient music space. You can also look forward to a traditional English Pub with real ales, local ciders, pub games with singalongs, an over 18's area and an expanded Arts Trail including a performance space and sound installations."

Several of last year's new features are set to make a return, including Big Romance speed dating, snail racing, and croquet. The festival is also pledging more toilets, litter bins, eco initiatives, and improved security. 

And if that's not enough, organisers are still on the look out for fresh ideas from festival goers. So if you know what makes Big Chill tick and can add a bit of tock, let them know by emailing piers@bigchill.net.

The first lineup announcement for The Big Chill 2006 is expected in late spring.
