Our top five ’van-friendly festivals

1 Kendal Calling

Set in the beautiful Lake District, this is a more mainstream festival focusing on the musical side of things, often with big-name headline acts across the weekend. Motorhome tickets are available as an additional cost to the festival ticket itself. Web www.kendalcalling.co.uk

2 Isle of Wight Festival

Offering an eclectic mix of artists, from top current performers through to bands from yesteryear, and a popular kids’ zone, this is a great festival for all ages. It can also be combined with a longer trip, allowing you time to explore the island.

3 Deer Shed

Set in the gorgeous North Yorkshire countryside, which in itself is a big selling point, and described as a ‘three-day wonderland of music, arts, science and sport for all ages’, this one is top of our list of festivals that we want to visit next year.

4 Nozstock

Amid the green fields and raggle-taggle farmhouses of rural Herefordshire lies Nozstock: The Hidden Valley, a festival mixing music of all genres with an array of arts and crafts. There is a family-specific motorhome and campervan area – just be sure to book the extra ticket you’ll need for this.

5 Elderflower Fields

Designed for families with younger children, this is ideal for a first-time family festival experience. The focus is very much on being at one with nature, allowing children to roam free and everyone to enjoy excellent music, creative arts and great food. Another one for our ‘must visit’ list.
