· I have been for the past two years and am certain that if you enjoy festivals this is a perfect place to go with children. It is still a relatively small festival, much how you would imagine glastonbury was before it went huge and corporate. There are plenty of childrens' entertainments and workshops like face painting and treasure hunts and the kids all seem to run around perfectly safely - a lot of people come with the children as it is a very friendly, happy family vibe.

The food is mainly vegetarian and there are lots of different things over the weekend to keep everyone entertained from films to music to yoga and drumming.As its small its impossible to get lost really but there is always a tent for little ones who have wandered off and are looking for their parents, manned by people who will entertain them until you are reunited.
