Best for: Most of the musical acts on offer are as vintage as the funfair, so you might want to give it a miss if you have a tween or teen in an 'everything mum and dad like sucks' phase. Younger kids will bop along to the sounds of Deacon Blue or the Beach Boys without judgement, however (as well they should).

Best for: Music aficionados who want to get ahead of the crowd. Barn on the Farm's lineup might seem low-key, but in the past few years it welcomed artists like Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard and Bastille before they became household names. So if your family is into new artists and a relaxed, folky vibe, this is the one for you.

Where: The Alma Inn, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire
Cost: A three-day ticket will cost £72. Under 14s go free with an accompanying adult.
Musical highlights: Geno Washington, Bernie Marsden, Vintage Trouble
What is there for families?
There don't appear to be any organised activities for kids, although they are welcomed. But the festival takes places in the grounds of the Alma Inn, set in miles of stunning countryside, so there's plenty of room for kids to play in the 'wild' while still in sight of mum and dad.
Best for: The lack of organised activities mean that this one might be more suited for slightly older kids who can make their own fun. As for the adults, the vast array of real ales on offer, as well as sponsorship from cider giants Westons, makes Linton a real treat for connoisseurs.

Best for: If you fancy a taste of the festival atmosphere, but the thought of camping makes you physically ill, this is a great one-day orgy of music and meat. The redneck vibe and ingenious fusion of Southern-fried rock and delicious barbecue makes Grillstock unlike anything else. Tuck in!
