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!

Valley Fest 2023 Review
It is a running joke in our family that food is what my kids most remember about festivals. So there was much excitement when I said we were returning to Valley Fest this year. On a stunning site overlooking a huge lake, not far from Bristol, Valley Fest bills itself as “ The Best-tasting music festival in the south west”. And they definitely deliver on that.

Read more…Valley Fest 2022 Review
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.
