Abi looks after our high-vis heroes and heroines.

  • “Great for kids: just one field to keep an eye on them in.”

    Jon Lenton

  • What a fab festival for families! There was enough going on to keep everyone entertained. The fact that it’s relatively small meant our kids had freedom to roam.

    Verity Porter

  • The vibe during the day is chilled and laid-back with easy-listening bands and DJ’s slowly building to the excitement and anticipation of the evening’s entertainment…the bands were incredible, different styles and genres with something for every taste.

    Sarah Burr

  • The biggest positive for me was the cleanliness of the site. I have never known a festival to be so clean and tidy with usable toilets, which is very important to me with two children. The site had an ethos of sustainability with reusable plastics and people encouraged where possible to use own water bottles.

    Hannah Byrne

  • There really is something for everyone with such a broad programme from the serious and thought-provoking to the downright silly!

    Viki Shaw

  • Appealing to all demographics old and young, this little festival is growing and has a larger heart than most bigger offerings. Go before it’s too late to claim that you were there in the beginning!

    Joanna Cocking

  • It feels like one big party you can go to whether you’re newly born or have lived forever!

    Carrie Ford

  • Such a fabulous festival! Stunning views enjoyed from deckchairs sipping prosecco, legs aching from dancing, cheeks aching from laughing – a weekend which will definitely be repeated as soon as we can #getonmyland again!

    Charlotte Fryer

  • Easily the best family festival in the UK. Just the right size – not too busy that you feel overwhelmed but enough people to feel you’re at a proper music festival.

    Alex Crisp

  • What a beautiful setting. I found it to be clean and safe and chilled out. Loved how everything was accessible and in one field.
