Hi,


We went to Latitude when our son was just over 1 yr old. It was brilliant! The friends we went with took their son who was 4 at the time. It's really family friendly. There's a special kids zone with a good variety of entertainment. Although make sure you get camping tickets for the family camping enclosure and get there on the Thursday if you can - to secure a good pitch. If you get there later on the Friday you may find the family camping enclosure full. Also if you've not been to a festival with kids before - I recommend the special kids ear defenders as the music is obviously pretty loud. Hope that helps! PM me if you want a more detailed lowdown.

Hi, We've been for the last 3 years with our children now aged 13 and 16 but went with friends with much younger children and we all loved it. Loads for children to do; as well as the music and theatre, dance, cabaret and comedy as well. Last year was incredibly wet but they did their best to lessen the mud by putting down loads of wood chip - but be prepared for it! Toilets in the family area perfectly respectable too, by and large. If you've been to Glastonbury you'll think it's tiny, but if, like us, it's the first festival you've been to, it will seem enormous (and phone coverage not great).

Only problem we've had is that I've had to join the family after Friday work and in order to get into the family area I've had to contact a family member at the gate and get them to come and vouch for me which took literally a couple of hours.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
