Think I am probably more excited about going to this then our proper Summer Holiday!! Me, DH and DD (6) will be attending - anyone else??

Anyone been before and got tips/tales?

Sorry, not been but live very close to Bestival site so always thin Camp Bestival might be 'better' now we have DCs.

Will watch this thread with interest - although ours are only 3 and 1.

Sure you will have a great time tho...

Went last year, it was my first ever festival and was very nervous of the loos, food and being cramped in - was absolutely brilliant, had the best time ever - food was quite pricey but great - so much choice.

Loads of free stuff for kids to do, great music and comedy, somthing for everyone. We went with a few festival regulars and it was a bit too commercial for them but we loved it.

Two tips - take plenty of cash - there is a cash machine there but queues go on forever, make sure you see the Cuban Brothers - bloody fantastic.

We would be going this year but it clashes with our holiday - will try and plan better next year.

Have a fab time
