Cancelled Festivals
Big Tree Festival
Discontinued
Location: Euston Park, Suffolk
Despite a cracking line up and wonderful workshops and activities, The Big Tree Festival was cancelled in 2013. We do not know if it will run again.
Festibelly
Discontinued
Location: The New Forest, just outside the beautiful town of Lymington, Hampshire.
Size: 3,000
Festibelly is a hidden gem on the festival calendar. Nestled among the woodland on the edge of the New Forest, there is something for the whole family, but the main audience is predominantly teens and early-20’s. It is a two day party, a double dose of the intimate charm it has become known for. Read more…

Playgroup Festival
Discontinued
Location: Eridge Park, near Tunbridge Wells, East Sussex
Website: www.facebook.com/Playgroupfestival
Playgroup was a small and intimate festival located near Brighton, which aims to feel like a personal festival – ‘miles away from the over-saturated corporate events that we have all grown to hate’. Despite the name it is not aimed at kids, although they are most welcome to join in the fun – Playgroup is the name of the Brighton-based arts collective that put this event on.
Jelly Festival
Discontinued
Location: South Creake, Fakenham, Norfolk
Jelly Festival boasts an eclectic line up of unplugged and acoustic music from genres of folk, funk, roots, indie, reggae, swing, balkan and live dance and much more.
What’s on for families?
The festival promises to be a great family friendly festival and encourages festival goers to relax and enjoy the homely atmosphere with tents such as The Living Room stage, The Bedroom Bar, The Kitchen and The Playroom where children can bounce and wobble in a jelly inspired play area and also get involved in workshops such as Circus Magic which will raise money for this festival’s chosen children’s charity.
There is a family camping area with its own facilities, located away from the music.

Rhythm Festival
There will be no Rhythm Festivals in 2013 – the management company is going into receivership. Anyone still holding a festival ticket can exchange it for a Wickham Festival 2013 ticket but there is unlikely to be any refunds offered.

Big Tent Festival
Held in the grounds of Falkland Estate, an outstanding historical landscape in Fife, the Big Tent is recognised as Scotland’s greenest festival, the Big Tent is a family friendly affair that hosts two stages of music as well as a range of talks, demonstrations and activities that engage festival goers of all ages with the ecological opportunities and challenges that face society today.
