26th – 29th | Deer Shed Festival, North Yorkshire

A “live music/child friendly utopia”. That was the vision of husband and wife team Oliver Jones and Kate Webster when they set out to establish the inaugural edition of Deer Shed Festival. The festival site is 90 acres of rolling hills, tree lined avenues, enchanted forests and a beautiful lake, all set within the confines of Baldersby Park in Topcliffe. Large enough to fit the 10,000-strong community of festival-goers (50-50 adult-children ratio) inside with space to spare, but not so big as to leave any reservation about letting your kids explore freely.
