Fancy a festival with a difference? Then Starry Skies could be for you… part festival, part camp, this event promises a plethora of family friendly activities in the great outdoors. Expect to learn with forest school, take wild walks in the woods, make nature art, star gaze into the night, sing around the campfire and have fun playing in the woodland playground. Starry Skies has been designed to make the most of the picturesque setting at Barton Hill Farm in the beautiful Brecon Beacons, allowing children the freedom to explore the great outdoors as they often can't at home.
Starry Skies is brought to you by the folks who run Shambala Festival (read our review of Shambala in 2010 here) and I love the ethos behind the camp – that parents often don't have as much fun when they attend festivals with the little ones, and long to go on a holiday where they can relax too. There is even a dedicated Toddler Tent, it doesn't get much better than that!
There will also be entertainment in the form of music from the likes of Lori Campbell, Nuala Honan and Me and My Friends. And of course there will be plenty of other options for the adults, such as yoga, walking adventures, extreme days out and Buddhist chanting.
There is only room for 250 families so expect a very friendly environment with a strong communal spirit. You could be in with a chance to win a family ticket, by suggesting your favourite campfire song here.
