WOW!!!! Just got back from our first visit to the Secret Garden Party. Better than Glasto probably…read morebecause the emphasis is on art AND music so there is lots to do. This time loads of good music plus circus skills, sock wrestling, hula hooping, explorers camp, dance, camera obscura, samba lessons, yoga, ferris wheel etc etc etc. Lots of eccentric costumes, very kid friendly. Fantastic atmosphere - very friendly and good natured. No flights, no trouble. Even the toilets were reasonable - much better than other festivals :-) In 2005, The Secret Garden Party won the Best Small Festival prize at the UK Festival Awards. It won the Best Small Festival prize for the second time in 2008. In 2007, it was named 'best British music festival' by Radio 1. We're booking for next year without a doubt :-)

It has music on several stages, stalls, food, art, crafts, kids entertainment, performers, participation and of course a beer tent. I went for the day last year and it was a hot day (rain tomorrow). If you can't get to this one put it in your diary for next year because it is good and it is free! After the event. A crowd of us went. Kings Cross to Cambridge and we got on enroute..like a rolling snowball..it had picked up other friends enroute. The trains were packed and the queueing and police presence at Cambridge station seemed a bit OTT. The festival itself was packed but the music, beer and food were good as were the selection of stalls. I got a rainstick for £1. As this is free one wonders how much longer it can run but if it is on next year then go!

The restaurant however deserves special mention The food is good, better than I was expecting to be fair. But, it's not cheap, even though a lot of the meat is butchered onsite. The staff however are what put me off; they seem friendly enough but are quite aloof and appear to be distracted all the time. To the point it gets frustrating. I don't think this is a problem with the individuals I think it's more of a management issue though. My advice would be to think about the customer a bit more. Think about service and what the best service you've ever experienced looks like. Think about putting the customer first. Oh and the cat, get rid of cat.

Red Rooster was my first music festival experience, and one that'll stay with me forever. The…read morelegendary C.W Stoneking closing the event with his jungle blues was the perfect finish to a weekend that was just bursting with Americana, showcasing the best of Britain but also featuring several acts who'd travelled from much further. Americana leaves room for real variety, meaning there was an eclectic mix of sounds at the festival; blues, bluegrass, country, soul. We arrived on the Thursday evening and pitched our tent. At this point Suffolk's Euston Estate was at it's quietest, so we were able to find just the spot for us. We went for out of the way and just under a tree. - Home for the next few days! And what a lovely location. The festival was just in it's second year when I visited and still feels very much small and homegrown. The festival's family friendly and there were lots of dogs and young children. As a result, it felt very, very safe. Due to its size, there were also several little quirks to be discovered on site: hammocks, a poker zone, camp fires...It made for quite the wander, and certainly gave the festival a unique feel. These sort of things encouraged a ramble and mixing with other campers, and, consequently, we had many a friendly chat with other campers by the fire. The low points were few and far between, but worth mentioning. The on-site loo situation could have been better. There really needed to be more facilities for the number of people there. - That's all I'll say. The street food vendors were awesome, although some had sold out as early as the end of the first night. By the last night, choices were limited. It was expensive, as expected, but the quality was high. All in all, I'm a big fan of Red Rooster and look forward to seeing how the festival will grow in years to come. It was most definitely worth our journey from Stirling to Suffolk!

Situated on the opposite side of the river to all the trendy bars and clubs on Riverside is The…read moreWaterfront. A grimy, run down building with a lackluster interior and a floor that your feet will stick to all night long. But don't let that put you off! During the week it is used as a music venue and although you'll never see the likes of Oasis play there, it does attract great up and coming bands. It also offers local bands a chance to showcase their talent with nights organised by local promoters. At the weekends the venue is used as a club that generally caters for the 'alternative' Norwich scene. Friday nights tend to alternate each week between 80's and 90's theme, which may sound cheesy but the DJ's actually play decent music from those decades. It is nothing like your typical Flares or Reflex nightclubs. Every Saturday in the main room downstairs is a club night called Meltdown, which tends to play alternative music catering for the indie/emo/punk/rock/dance genres. Up stairs there are two rooms. One is a small café bar, which is great to as a chill out area as there are plenty of tables and chairs located around. The other room is larger which has a different set of DJ's each week will be a different themed night. Anything from New Electro to Britpop to Heavy Metal or Rap. There's rarely any trouble in The Waterfront and you'll always make a new friend each time you go there. Overall, it's a great night out with a quality friendly atmosphere!

Love box Festival isn't just a music festival, It's much more than that…read more It's an escape with all it's beery, sweaty glory. In the midsummer Victoria Park played host to a crowd of beery, sweaty, joyous, feeling the love group of people, coming to take in hours upon hours of great music performed live by some of the greatest artists and DJ''s around. A sweltering dustbowl of Victoria park was full of vivid colours, four stage, fun fair, food Stalls, merchandise. As we groove to the first tent heavy dancing and beats session was to tantalising to miss. Once that was finished, we tucked into a delicious Ostrich burger. Then stroll toward the fairground rides and after recovering from the rides and my organs had settled down from the ordeal we dancing our way into another tent where we bump into random people and started up a dancing frenzy and left.... hehehe....! Bopped over to the Main Stage in between, were Alunageogre D,anglo and Plan. B performed. Overall magnificent.

It pretty easy to get here (if you know the way from the station!!), just 20 minutes from Camden Road on the overground service, and only 1 pound! We had lots of fun on Saturday watching Manu Chao, Groove Armada, Lethal Bizzle, and possible Wiley! Can't give it 5 stars because of the really stupidly long bar queues, but the rest of the setup is pretty pleasant, and the atmosphere is chilled, no trouble at all.
