15 fantastic family-friendly festivals for summer

  • Even the most tent-shy families might find that a music festival is the highlight of their summer. Our experiences in 2022 were varied and memorable. We held space rocks at Bluedot, sang to a pink robot during the Flaming Lips at Womad, danced in butterfly wings to Peggy Gou during a Wilderness sunset, and grew sweetly sleepy listening to Indian night songs beneath a shimmering moon (Luke Jerram’s installation at Womad).
