Best for science
BLUEDOT
Jodrell Bank Observatory, Cheshire
With surely one of the coolest settings of any UK music festival, this weekender sets up camp beneath the Lovell Telescope. The science and astronomythemed activities on offer will blow the minds of both adults and inquisitive children, with shows, robots, interactive experiments and a luminarium. The music lineup is just as spectacular, with Bjork, Metronomy, Mogwai and Groove Armada playing. Speakers include Professor Jim Al-Khalili, while comedians Stewart Lee and Adam Buxton also appear.
