Chilled in a Field Festival is a small, family-friendly[1] music festival in the United Kingdom. First run in 2010,[2] in 2014 it was listed by The Guardian as one of their Top 25 summer festivals for music and arts lovers, foodies and families,[3] and given a Gold Award by the family festival review website Festival Kidz.[4] The festival now draws an attendance of 1,500+,[5] having grown from an attendance of only 120 people in its first year.[2]

The festival was first held in Hawkhurst, Kent,[2] and has also been held at The Hop Farm Country Park in Paddock Wood.[6] and at Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum in Sussex. Bands headlining the festival have included The Egg, Cocos Lovers, She Drew The Gun, and Tankus the Henge.[7] The festival was most recently held in 2019. As of 2022[update] it is on indefinite hiatus as the result of financial difficulties arising from missing 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
