I would love to take my family to Folk by the Oak. My partner is not really an outdoors person, so I’m trying to ease him into festival going gently, and this would be perfect!

We’d love to go to Croissant Neuf - the sports and games for children look brilliant and my husband and I would love the music! Claire
We would love to go to Folk by the Oak. My young daughters enjoy listening to folk music when we play it at home, so we would really love to take them to see live music. It would be so inspiring for them. We have never been to a festival before so this would be a good introduction to festival going for my daughters and I know they would love the music, craft stalls and magical atmosphere.
We’d love to go to Shambala this year - it won the Greener festival Award in 2011. We can’t afford tickets this year as hubbie finding much work at the mo, so to win this would be brilliant!

We’d love to go to Sunrise Festival Goes Offgrid, after a stressful couple of years we made the decision to change they way we live, we’d love to live offgrid somewhere and going to this festival would help equip us with the tools needed to make such a leap, thank you for offering this! Anna x
