Whether you're looking for international music lineups, intimate encounters with literary greats or something altogether more alternative, there's now a festival to suit every taste under the sun. Hip festival pioneers The Big Chill are experts in the field, and in Summer Living they have teamed up with the Guardian to bring together a comprehensive directory of every event in the UK and across Europe. But Summer Living is more than a simple festival guide - it also contains month-by-month suggestions for keeping the party going long after the tents have come down and the stages have been dismantled. This title features: useful tips for places to camp, swim, walk, eat and drink when the festival is over; hilarious games to play all summer long, from toe-wrestling to human snail races; and, effortless recipes for refreshing cocktails and delicious festival food. With Summer Living in your hand, you can keep the festival spirit alive all year round.
