3 years after its last outing, Festival Kidz were delighted to return to the stunning Piercefield park on the Wales/England border. So with car packed and sun hats adorned, Adam and family attended their first Green Gathering to check out why this award winning, eco-conscious, festival was consistently praised among the festival masses.
Four days of music, spoken word, cabaret, crafts, campaigns, campfires, low impact living, love and green life… a festival community powered by sun, wind, people and passion… a festival beyond hedonism where you can party then wake up the next morning with new mates and a mission to change the world!
Festival Kidz families are all passionate about festivals but it is becoming increasingly obvious that the impact they have on our environment is massive.

Even if you are a hardcore eco-warrior doing all you can daily to reduce your impact on the planet, when the summer holidays arrive it’s often hard to make low carbon plans. In comparison to overseas holidays, choosing […]
We fell head over heels in love with the Green Man magic. It’s easy to see why this gorgeous gathering sells out so quickly and many families return year after year.
The sun shone gloriously for our first ever visit to The Great Estate Festival. It was a fantastic weekend of great live music, tasty food, fun activities and time spent with good friends in a beautiful location.
