With 2017 nearly over we can now look forward to the summer (we realise it’s December still...think positive!). Look back at the memories created, and plan to create plenty more in 2018 – but where do you start? Tickets are now available for most of the festivals in the UK, with many even sold out already, so we’d thought we’d give you a little guidance so you’re as prepared as you can be!

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

Hackney Wonderland has very much cemented itself in the festival calendars of many music lovers. A line up packed with new and established artists, spread over 4 wonderfully unique and intimate venues in Hackney it offers something many music festivals don’t. We went last year and came away from it fully satisfied with what was on offer. The music varied, and the different venues were just a stone’s throw from each other. The venues were a nice business, so there was no getti

We’ve all had some of the most awful and frustrating times at festivals, yet our love for them continues to grow stronger. In a society where the club scene is becoming less prevalent – why are we turning to the festival flex. Here are 5 alternative reasons why: Getting boozed up in the daytime A big draw, I think you’ll agree. The almost rebellious act of drinking during the day is a wonderfully simple thing.

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.
