Alex James’ 200-acre Cotswolds farm plays host to this fantastic family-friendly festival. Highlights include Paloma Faith (Sunday), Craig David (Saturday) Basement Jaxx (Friday), Artful Dodger, Melanie C, plus many more. Gourmands will delight in delicacies from the UK’s best-known chefs such as Marco Pierre White, Raymond Blanc, Jasmine Hemsley and Gizzi Erskine to name a few, plus a dizzying array of street food stalls and of course Alex James’s Cheese Hub. Family entertainment comes from kids’ TV mega-star Justin Fletcher, Paddington, Peppa Pig and George, The Gruffalo, My Little Pony, Circus School and Baby Loves Disco etc. You can even hire a super-cute trolley or wagon to transport your little ones around (doubling up as a handy place for a nap). Trollies cost £20 for one night (two nights £30, 3 nights £40) and wagons are £30 for one night (two nights £50, 3 nights £70). Day tickets for the festival cost from £69 per adult (Friday) and each adult is allowed to book up to two free child tickets for under-12s. Bring your own tent or camper van, or book pre-pitched tents, luxury bell tents or yurts. If camping isn’t your thing, choose from hotels, B&B’s and farmhouses listed on the website.
