Latitude Music Festival

Hi everyone

Has anyone here been to the Latitude Music Festival with kids in previous years, or is anyone planning to go this year? We're thinking of going with our 2 kids this year...

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.

We've been before but this year we'll be taking our boy who will be 13 months old. Have got Family camping tickets and will get there on the Thursday. Any more tips would be gratefully received!
