Camp Bestival. Oh how we do love thee.

 We couldn’t make Camp Bestival this year – so we sent our intrepid roving reporter WitWitWoo. Who quite frankly did a better job than we would have done. She camped and EVERYTHING. This is her account of her first ever festival – grab a coffee before you start, you may be here some time… I have officially made it back from my first ever camping trip in one piece.  Quite frankly, I surprised even myself...

Are you coming too this year? If you’re meaning to, then be quick – tickets are scarce, the festival is Sold out, without fail, every single year (you can see what Emma thought of it when she visited for us last year by...

The Larmer Tree Festival Review – what we really thought

When Laura asked on Wednesday if I wanted to take her place at the Larmer Tree Festival for five days she didn’t have to ask twice. I imagine she chose me because I had easy access to four enthusiastic children. What she might not have considered was my previous experience working at numerous festivals in the past, delighting children with a huge inflatable bouncy dragon, and more recently taking my own children to experience the fun...

Larmer Tree Festival – Day 3

Here’s the latest from Emma: Toots  (Toots and the Maytals) were LEGEND last night! Families packed into the crowd, dancing together. People at the front were welcomed onto the stage by the man himself during the 15min encore – never seen that before. Caught some comedy in the packed marquee before bed too. We all loved our meals which cater for every taste – great pizza cafe where you can sit down in comfort eating...
