I saw the sun yesterday (briefly) and felt the promise of the summer to come. And what is summer without a festival or two (or three or four...) to look forward to? It will soon be time to dig out the face paints and hopefully flip flops not wellies - either way there is so much fun to be had whatever your vibe.
So -check out these festivals and some amazing lineups and prepare to party!
