Nothing quite says summer like an outdoor concert underneath a fabric awning or the sunny afternoon sky listening to all the top bands. Of course, while concerts are a great way to spend an afternoon or evening, nothing is quite as intense as the festival experience, where audiences camp for several days and enjoy the music of a multitude of bands while drinking and dancing. Festivals are an incredibly popular way to spend summer days in the UK, and can often be euphoric for those experiencing them. Of course you need to make sure that you pack the right kit - with a strong enough tent, suitable for sleeping the group, and blankets and rain boots, as not all of the British summer is stunning sunshine! Here are a few of the summer music festivals in the UK The Secret Garden Party takes place every year and focuses very much on allowing attendees to explore their creative side, where they can meet thousands of people and indulge their wildest fantasies. Field Day is an alternative music festival that is a collective of some of the most interesting emerging artists worldwide as they play to create an incredible music experience. The Glastonbury Festival is perhaps the most famous of all music festivals in the UK and is one of the most established, having started back in 1970. It is an annual event that takes place in the Vale of Avalon and it covers over nine hundred acres of farmland. The purpose of the event is to encourage youth culture, and headlining there is a major ambition of many bands and artists. The Notting Hill Carnival is set, somewhat unsurprisingly, in Notting Hill, in the West End of London. It takes place on the August Bank Holiday weekend and celebrates much of what is international about London, with revellers from many different cultures enjoying the atmosphere. Lovebox, on the other hand, takes part on the other side of the UK's capital, in the East End in Bethnal Green, Hackney. As one would expect, there are plenty of urban artists and the food and drink is once again of an international flavour. Not to be missed if you enjoy your new age events. Clearly, whether you want to spend time in a festival in a field, or would prefer to tramp the streets of London swaying to a cosmopolitan beat, there is plenty of diversity for one to enjoy in the UK's festivals.
