Sharon’s festy blog: Isle of Wight

Managed to catch some of this on the ITV2 coverage this year. It really made me think the Isle of Wight Festival is best viewed from the comfort of a living room, with a comfy armchair and a chilled glass or two of wine in hand (and a proper toilet just a few steps upstairs).

We went last year with one child and a large pregnancy bump, and although we enjoyed the bands, we found the festival a bit full-on for families. The kids area shut so early that we never actually saw it open, and there was an element of beer-drinking lads on a mission to oblivion that made some of the busy public areas a bit dodgy for the little one as the sun started to go down…

Family Festival rating: 4/10
