Between now and the last week of August, you have more festivals to choose from than any one person could possibly attend. Not only is there a festival happening in some part of the country every week of the summer, there are multiple festivals running simultaneously in most of those! With so much choice facing us, I have taken on the role of official programme sifter, and here are my top tips for some of the most eagerly anticipated festivals to see you through the summer.
A Jolly Holiday
Comic Relief
Bread and Roses
