Festival Awards 2017

Best Family Festival

A wholesome counterpoint to the unrestrained hedonism that characterises certain festivals, these events mostly cater towards parents and their progeny, creating an atmosphere that's at once safe and exploratory. Games, workshops, educational components and fantastical set design all contribute towards an enduring experience for youngsters, whilst the adults are kept entertained by all manner of musical and non-musical offerings. Beyond the breadth and depth of family-centric entertainment, this award also distinguishes which festivals possess the most hospitable facilities for parents and their young'uns.
