Set to go ahead, award-winning family-friendly festival Latitude has activities for kids, teens and families spread across three areas.

YORKSHIRE: Deer Shed Festival
Deer Shed Festival dates: 22-26 July 2020
Started by a group of music loving parents, dissatisfied with paying over the odds for below average music, the founders of Deer Shed know what makes a good family festival. Their success is in not regarding children as second-class citizens, but also not over compromising for that ‘family friendly’ experience. Music, spoken word, theatre, cinema and workshops are all top notch. Under-5s activities include a sensory tent and soft play. Boom Chikka Boom baby rave anyone? No postponement or closure announcements have been made as of yet. Buy Deer Shed tickets
DORSET: Camp Bestival
Camp Bestival dates: 30 July-2 August 2020
In our opinion, the very best of child-friendly festivals, Camp Bestival is a wonderland for little ones. Not to be confused with more grown up sister-festival Bestival, Camp Bestival vetoes the beer sludge and raving all-nighters for more child-friendly pursuits like bouncy castles, go-carts, fairgrounds, face painting, sandpits and glitter – the list goes on. In fact, most of the festival is dedicated to little party people. There’s even a Breastival Mother and Baby Chill Out spot for the newest mums. Head to the Upper Kids’ Garden on the lawn behind the castle to find the world’s biggest bouncy castle and keep your eyes peeled for visits from beloved characters such as the Gruffalo and PJ Masks. There are family shows and entertainment from Mr Tumble, Mister Maker and Timmy Mallett. What’s in it for the parents? Oldies can enjoy Groove Armada, Liam Payne and Friendly Fires, to name but a few. Buy Camp Bestival tickets
Set to go ahead as planned, the festival organisers posted the following statement on their site:
‘Camp Bestival 2020 is proceeding as planned, and we are excited to welcome everyone to the event in 4 months time. The safety and health of our festival-goers, artists, and staff is always our top priority and planned for accordingly.
‘We continue to closely monitor official guidance from the World Health Organisation, Public Health England, UK Government and local public health authorities as information evolves.’

WALES: Green Man Festival
Green Man Festival Dates: 20-23 August 2020
Jumping around in a field surrounded by the breathtaking Brecon Beacons is most people’s idea of fun. There’s a ‘Little Folk’ area for glitter-filled under-12s fun. Last year the area was transformed into The Lost City Of Atlantis, set against the backdrop of lush green mountains, where the kids could go wild in their own aquatic adventure. From craft workshops and bubbles galore, to a bit of magic or just frivolous fun; this is one of the best kids’ zones out there. Set to go ahead, buy your Green Man tickets here
