Organisers of Tring’s annual music festival, Chilfest, launch a series of outdoor cinema events this weekend.

Following the difficult decision to cancel the main festival, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures, Steve Butcher and his team have pulled together nine weekends of alternative entertainment for film lovers.
