Me and a few mates have been to Camp Bestival the last 4 years with our kids on an annual dads and kids jaunt. Its been absolutely brilliant every time and we have great memories but all things come to an end and the kids are getting a little bit older now so its off the agenda for this year. 🙁

Given that it may just be a Dads trip this year what festivals would STW recommend? Bearing in mind we like a civilised camping experience (posh camping in Camp Bestival!) the chance to get a shower, decent beer and good music for ahem.. the more mature gentleman 😥

At the second BBB there was a stag party iirc who only a couple liked cycling it didn't stop them from having a bloody good time, cycling is only one part of the BBB experience.

I am off to Boomtown Fair in August but I don't think it will be civilised. Warm lager and a quick squirt of Lynx in the morning is more likely.

Lattitude is good.

How about looking for a festival that a band you like will be playing at?

Some of the smaller stuff I've worked at, hopefully will get in at Green Man again, just down the hill from the house if I want a shower
