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…

Festibelly 2012 Review

Review by Mark and Sue (with two kids aged 9 and 7) 

Getting there – No queues.  The carparking field was a bit of a challenge to get into with ruts and a steep entrance but we managed OK.  It wasn’t far to carry our stuff as the camping was in the field next to the carpark.

When we arrived, no one seemed to know if there was a separate family camping area so we were directed to a spot closest to the Owlery kid’s area.  Unfortunately for us, this turned out to be the worst place for a family to camp because it was also adjacent to the Terrapin Station which was open and full of partying people until 5am!!
