2017

As we lugged our tents up, then down and then up again, it was hard to ignore just how many hills there were at this new venue, however, once we got settled the landscape was the last thing on our minds! We entered the festival site to a smorgasbord of different outfits, all beautifully unique and colourful with glitter abound; in fact, I still keep finding bits of glitter on me even after the festival has ended. The colourful nature of the outfits and characters at the festi

Unique in its charming seaside location, Looe Music Festival takes place in the heart of a picturesque fishing town on the South coast of Cornwall. Stages and marquees well hidden amongst the bustling harbour, intimate winding town alleys and a lovely beach with amazing views in all directions. This three day festival spills out from its numerous official sites to enter locations spread amongst the town, creating a unique party atmosphere throughout the whole of this beautifu

Each year we go and each year we find different ways to love it more. Wilderness Festival returned last weekend to the beautiful surroundings of Cornbury Park. The lake, the wild woodland, the sun (and maybe a little rain...), the music, the energy – we could go on for a while. If you haven’t been to Wilderness before it’s a wonderfully varied playground for adults and children, filled with a whole number of activities: sports, games, talks, debates, theatre, arts, workshops

In its first year, FloVibe is something a little bit different. Intimate and family friendly this is a ‘retreat meets music festival’. It boasts a range of wellness related activities throughout the day, alongside partying deep into the night - all against a beautiful lakeside backdrop. Arriving mid-Saturday morning, the first thing that struck me was the grandeur of Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens where the festival was hosted. It’s surrounded by beautiful trees, lakes and lights

Finsbury Park has long been home to music festivals and music lovers alike. Just over two weeks ago the park held host to thousands of excitable festival goers for what was set to be a brand new experience. Community Festival did not disappoint. The one day festival kicked off with a huge line up of indie, rock and pop artists all of whom have made the their mark this year in the music scene. The real fun started with Slaves who absolutely stood out for me as a main stage act

Wonder Fields is as free and easy a festival as they come. This small bijoux festival is a refreshingly delightful alternative to the mainstream. Creative siblings Alice and Nick have certainly succeeded in their desire to ‘create a space to celebrate life away from the shackles of the outside world’. Now in its third year, this journey of undiscovered sensory delights is tucked neatly into the folds of the beautiful South Devonshire countryside. The surrounding land of Great

Strawberries & Creem has grown rapidly over the last few years. Started off by a group of university friends, it returned for the fourth instalment. The music festival is a celebration of grime, rap, hip hop and everything in between and is one of very few of its kind, the choice of doing it in a very middle-class Cambridgeshire countryside was very much a conscious choice. No shits given. Music festivals are generally in the middle of nowhere, so we ALWAYS drive – we rolled

Wildfire Adventure Camp has been a festival we’ve wanted to go to since it first began in 2015. We here at Festival For You love something that’s a little bit different, and if that something a little bit different is done well – you’ve got something very special. The festival is a hybrid between a music festival and a 1950’s adventure camp, sounds cool already right? You can take part in the carefully curated activities in the day led by the ever energetic tour leaders, then

Hogsozzle is all about the wonderful hog and having fun, simple. Started off by a group of friends, this boutique, independent music festival has continued to grow every year, adding more hogs, more stages, more people and most importantly, a whole lot more fun! This year was a near sell-out, with nearly all 1500 tickets being sold – an unsurprising outcome after we experienced the music festival ourselves. This year there was the epic hog roast, 4 stages of party inducing be
