Cloudspotting festival in Guisburn forest,only 500 people,excellent line up but you will have to leave the dog behind.

I need to be able to take the dog otherwise its paying for kennels thanks tho

You can not only take the dog to Standon Calling but they also have a Dog Show, yes really. It is also a fantastic small festival that punches way above its weight.

About 5,000 on site and not that close to Newcastle, you can have everything I guess lol

TasFest in Norfolk is a small scale Festival with a mix of music/food/drink/entertainment.

Allows dogs but doesn't do camping but being Norfolk there are loads of cheap camp sites situated nearby.

Also a good family atmosphere.

[debz_1989]

thanks guy I will check them out

Also try Farmer Phil's Music Festival west of Telford in Shropshire, near Rattlinghope. Usually beginning of August

Dogs on leads allowed (owners expected to clean up after the dog)

and they let you camp for seven days (some on each side of the festival) which means you can have a cheap camping holiday with a festival thrown in, in a lovely part of the world

Kozfest in Devon allows dogs

Not two hours from Newcastle, but we're taking our dog to Weyfest tomorrow. Not 500 people either, but still only 2,500. Lots of really decent bands as well of course.

Check it out for next year.

The Rollright Fayre, Oxfordshire so a little further but an amazing line-up and only 500 people!

I love the croissant neuf summer party in mid Wales. Ok it may be far for you and you can't take dogs but its really small and chilled out. Not at all commercial.

If anyone is interested in attending Something Else in the Dean this weekend, which is a super little festival in the Forest of Dean (and yes you can take dogs), we have two adult, teenager's and two kids' tickets available for what we paid, namely £59 in total, as unfortunately our youngest child isn't very well. Great lineup and a lovely weekend - will be sorry to miss it this year. PM me if you are interested, thanks.
