Kids are getting old enough to actually enjoy the experience (Her 8, Him 11), which festival have you been to and enjoyed?

gotta be glasto its huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

and the kids entertainment is unrivaled, circus, cinema, loadsa stuff to see at all times and an entire field devoted to family camping

part of the reason why its become so dull middle class and radio 1 friendly

Camp Bestival it is designed for families and kids, not overcrowded and very relaxed

Small festies are where it’s at. None of that money-grabbing commercial malarkey.

We’re off to Bearded Theory in Derbyshire.
Great line up of bands, plus superb acts in the dance tent.
Last year took the daughter to her first festival – Shamania psytrance festie in Lancashire. She loved it! 😀
Nozstock in Herefordshire looks good too.

check out solfest

big chill. Loads of kids there and not too big.

Wickerman, bar nain!

Yep, Solfest. When you’ve had enough, you can ride off along the coast.

I’ve heard good things about Wickerman, Glasgowdan!

Cornbury is kid / family friendly too.

Camp Bestival.

Went last year and the kids had a great time, already booked for this year.

Big Music from small nations, small festival in wales.
took our kids a couple of years ago and had a ball.
You will almost certainly never have heard of any of the bands playing,
but we really had a great time.

Cropredy Festival in August is good but appears to be getting in on the ‘stealth expense’ these days. A really friendly, nice, smaller festival – if you like folk music.

Also, my sis goes to loads of those fake festivals – tribute bands instead of the real thing, at a fraction of the price. She says the Foo Fighters and Green Day ones are really good.

Surely, it has to be one that’s going to be in the New Forest in August, which will be a very family friendly mix of music, mountain biking, beer and loads of other exciting activities. Were such an event to be held, I’m sure now would be a good time to buy tickets, as I’m sure they would be selling out fast!

Now, would anyone know of such a wondrous fest?
