Music festivals in England have come a long way since the times of merely boozing in a field.
These days it’s all about family-friendly activities: think circus tents, petting zoos, arts and crafts, workshops and adventure courses – it’s fun for the whole family.
From babies, tweens and teens, kids of all ages are welcomed and encouraged to join in on the festival circuit. Glastonbury has an entire kid’s field, Henley Festival dedicates Sunday to the little ones, Wilderness Festival has a huge gaming clubhouse and Conbury Festival has an array of free activities from face painting to dance classes available for tots. And that's just the start of it.
Browse our gallery above to see our pick of the top 20 family friendly festivals in the UK, and what makes them so good. There are day, weekend and whole week festivals included, so there's sure to be something to suit.
It’s not just about the music.
