Went to IOW last week, not bad,, but far too many girls in high heels. Want to go to a few fesrtivals this summer, but where do the hippies go these days. I want chilled music, maybe a bit of rock. i want a family friendly attitude, l dont want to be body searched every 5 minutes. I want to sit round the tent at night with cool people and a spliff..........HELP .............

Actually like the sound of seeing all these women stuck in the mud in their high heels.
You still have time to get to Secret Garden Party. Though its not tottaly hippified its in the right direction.
me thinks! -
Shambala! It's in Northamptonshire over August Bank Holiday weekend. They don't advertise, it's all word of mouth, and I think it's a lovely little weekend. Had the best time there in 2005.

tell me more! its local for me
www.shambalafestival.org
It's a wicked fest, went in 2005. Really friendly with loads of crazy stuff going on, like a Medieval sports day, whatever that is! -
I went to ROTW in Hitchin last year, its not a camping festival. Its basically a few stages scattered around the town centre, lots of baseball caps and hoodies. In one of the parks they have a childrens arwea. that was quite cool, bit more chilled, but no music. Not a bad day out,. but very crowded.
-
theres loads of music! and its my birthday!

Some old friends of mine used to organise the Triangle festival in Hitchin ...but I am not sure if it is still going now... and I used to go to the Girls school there so it is another place I know hehehe -

You just missed the Strawberry fair in Cambridge, which is always held on the first weekend of June
If you want a truly free hippy gathering...try Stonehenge or Avebury on the solstices/equinoxes (or any sabbat)...faily that be ready to splash the cash as some of theses pay festis are a pretty penny -
Think l need to get a festival going in Luton or close by anyway. I know times change, move on and all that. i just yearn for a festival where no one cared what you wear, and certainly no high heels, chilled time, friendly people, campfire at night with a beer and a spliff. Miusic and activities in the day for adults and kids, and those of us adults who not grown up yet, is that too much to ask ??
