child friendly music festivals

[Flojo1979]

Hi, can anyone recommend a music festival suitable for dc's (7&3)? Is there such a thing?!

Camp Bestival

Would the one in Dorset be any good?

Can't remember the name sorry.

Beautiful Days in Exeter, lovely family festival and not too expensive either, kinda like a tiny Glastonbury :) i can't wait to take our DD to a festival but she is only 5mo so got a while to wait yet!

Dorset is a long way for us but looks like the only one!

Dinefwr literature festival has LOADS of music and lots of stuff for kids.

Croissant Neuf is fab party neuf

Kendal Calling is a great festival.

I went when 8 months pregnant, saw lots or families with children from newborn to teenagers.

Do they still do WOMAD nr Reading?

We do Cornbury every year, v safe and vvv friendly - it's in Oxfordshire if that's any nearer!

Bristol balloon festival was fab - went when our girls were about 5 & 3. Loads to do, live music etc.

There's one that's not just music called something like 'just so' that's specifically for kids/families.Think it's in derbyshire.
My neighbours go to beautiful days every year with small kids-I just hated the levellers/not into a hippy vibe so it wouldn't be my scene.
There are day festivals- you could camp nearby- splendour in Nottingham is overrun by families.

I think you're right to pick carefully.There's nothing sadder than seeing a crying kid ,trying to play with empty beer cups ,in the middle of a seething drunk crowd-I've seen it at Leeds and Reading and don't know what the parents were thinking!

Ah they've moved it to Wiltshire. Sorry about link; on iPad.

I think you mean 'y not' festival Defineme

Oh and there's Summer Sundae in Leicester. It even has a crèche.

Wychwood - loads of kids activities - mosaics, crafty stuff, library tent, story telling, cookery classes. Mr Tumble the year I went.

We're off to Beautiful Days again this year. Won best family festival festival at UK festival awards 2011. DH hates the Levellers but he enjoys the festival year after year. There's circus stuff for kids to try with helpers to get them started, crafts, kids cabaret, trampolines and bouncy castles. Several generations of the same families all enjoying the relaxed atmosphere.

We haven't tried any other festivals with kids but hope to when DDs are a little older. We're only an hour away from Beautiful Days to easy to escape if it all goes wrong.

Would love to have gone to beautiful days but its sold out :(

Barefoot festival,
