What's it like for families?

[The Other Steve]

We are considering booking Kendal Calling this year for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids - aged 12 & 10).  Has anybody got any experience for what it’s like for families and kids in terms of atmosphere, camping and things to do?

In terms of festival experience we've been as a family to Beautiful Days and Y Not before so kids are not newbies to the festival scene and I go to Glastonbury most years with my mates.

Hi, we have been going since our 2 were 8 & 5 and have the bug. Our kids will this year be 17 & 14 albeit the daughter now camps with here friends and only sees us when she wants proper food!

I cannot give it more of an endorsement than this, if it wasn't for the friendly atmosphere, the ability to escape the crowds if and when you want and the whole feeling of freedom we would not have come back the following year never mind 9 years later!

Thanks for the reply - booked tickets last night ?

May be slightly different this year considering the Courteeners are in town.

I absolutely love them, but they bring maniacs along for the ride.
