What’s not to love about this charming little festival? It has a beautiful site on a real working farm, allowing a proper space for children to run wild and free.
There’s no specific kids’ area; instead, there are activities for children across the site, which for us is a huge positive as it means we won’t be stuck in the kids’ field all weekend!

My kids have a new favourite thing. It involves a man in a full body chain mail suit, climbing on top of a massive van der graaf generator, and firing lighting from his hands.
I’m not sure how I’m going to top that this summer.

We are big fans of Woodland Tribe at Festival Kidz so we cannot wait for The Alchemist’s Playground at Valley Fest in August.
A new collaboration between Woodland Tribe and Arcadia will see kids set free to build and create their own playground and stage using real tools. We have absolutely loved this experience at previous festivals but Valley fest is taking it to the next level.

Valley Fest review 2021
The most beautiful festival views in the world!*
Valley Fest is the perfect combination of music, food and family fun for all ages.
Best Family Friendly Festivals 2019
People are always asking us which festival is the best!
There’s no easy answer to this as everyone has their own favourites.
Festivals have such a broad reach these days. There really is something for everyone. Do you want luxury or basic facilities, indie or world music, laid-back or party central?
So before you dive in and buy tickets…
South West England: Best Family Festivals 2018
The South West of England – wild and hilly with spectacular views. These three festivals are very different but one thing that they all share is you will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. And if you have a children’s festival wagon – make sure you put in a bit of training before you go!
For more festivals please see our special family friendly festival map.
We know there are other amazing festivals that we are missing out – and we’re attempting to get our reviewers around as many festivals as we can. The festivals below are our tried and tested choices, ones our writers go back to year after year.
Our 2017 Festival Highlights
Our festival highlights – Eloise (10) Charlotte (7) & Amelie (7)
The summer of 2017 was amazing. We had rain, we had mud, we had boiling hot sunshine… Yet we managed to dance our way through everything the British weather decided to throw at us.
We made new friends, we had paint fights, we learned to both throw and catch the diabolo, and most of all we found enjoyment in squelching through the mud!
Valley Fest 2017 Review
Valley Fest was one of the most perfect family friendly festivals I’ve ever been to. It had everything – a beautiful setting, loads of activities, great music for adults, a friendly vibe, excellent organisation and the most lovely stewards you will ever meet. It’s difficult to find anything about it we didn’t like, except possibly that it’s too short – one more day please!
