Across Britain there are a number of music and arts festivals that really are wonderful to visit and join in. Tickets for Glastonbury are usually sold as soon as they go on sale and if you don't manage to get a ticket there are lots of others to consider. Some are for younger people whilst many are aimed at families and have art and culture as well as music. Whilst the weather can never be guaranteed here are some of the best festivals to be found across Britain in summer.
