What's happening to 2020 festivals?

Covid-19 has pretty much cancelled the 2020 festival season. The good news is that many of the festivals are rolling over all tickets to their 2021 event. If you have tickets for 2020, hopefully festival organiser will have been in touch to let you know what the options are - generally same time, same place next year, or a refund.

How to find your family friendly festival

It is great that there will still be festivals in 2021, and to help you make the best choice, we have summarised the events below as a map and a list.

To allow a comparison between festivals, we have also included an indication of the cost of tickets for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The prices shown assume you camp for the entire festival and doesn't include any additional cost that may be charged for parking/campervans etc. All events have different pricing structures, especially when it comes to kids' tickets so the price we have quoted assumes children that are older than babies but not yet teens. Many of the events haven't released 2021 tickets but have confirmed dates - here we have shown the 2020 price.

Have fun searching for your perfect festival in 2021!
