Reviews: Summer Breeze
by Reviews Team, May 16th 20122010 and 2011 Summer Breeze Weather: Both years it was really hot, take shades as there isn’t a lot of shade!
Review by: Anonymous (with 2 kids aged 6 and 2)
The children managed to get really close to the music as its never too crowded and therefore they could see everything. We have spent the last two summer breeze festivals bathed in sunshine, great music and fabulous crowds, It is an intimate festival where you can relax knowing your children are not far away. There are some activities provided for the children (face paints, large garden games, clown) – it would be great to see this developed further with craft activities. The food and beer are great and there are a few shops too. I would recommend this as a great first festival for children due to the small intimate feel.

Children under 10 years old get in free. 10 to 15 year olds get in pretty cheap. In fact this is probably the cheapest festival to take your family to.

This gorgeous festival used to be one of the best kept secrets around… but it is so lovely that people like me can’t stop raving about it, fortunately it still retains its unique unspoilt charm but it does sell out each year so make sure your buy your tickets in good time.
This small intimate festival is one of the most relaxed and enjoyable weekends of the year for me. Larmer Tree festival (http://www NULL.larmertreefestival NULL.co NULL.uk) is suitable for all ages too – everyone is welcome here whether you are 1 or 101.
