Chilfest, July 9-10
With a strong 80s flavour, the Saturday at Chilfest has artists and bands from the decade (as well as a sprinkling of 70s and 90s) performing at Pendley Manor in Tring with Tony Hadley, Adam Ant, Boney M, Heatwave, The Christians and more. Feelgood? Yes. And the event raises thousands for charity. The preceding Friday is tribute act day with The Bootleg Beatles, Noasis and Who Are You among the bands. Check out the website for Chilfest s summer season of outdoor cinema at Pendley Manor every weekend too.
