From learning to juggle and hula-hoop at the circus workshops to letting loose at the famous kids&#8217; rave or getting stuck into mask-making at the Craft Den, there is endless fun designed just for them.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">And when the family is ready for some music, the Tramlines lineup is always stacked with a brilliant mix of legendary anthems, indie rock heavyweights and pop icons. For the 2026 edition, expect Fatboy Slim, Kaiser Chiefs, Courteeners, Blossoms, Wolf Alice and Wet Leg.

The heart of the children&#8217;s experience is the lovingly crafted Little Folk area, a dedicated wonderland for babies right up to 12-year-olds. It is bursting with entirely free activities, from arts and crafts to circus skills and even a spectacular children\u2019s parade on Sunday afternoon, where kids show off the costumes they&#8217;ve made over the weekend.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Green Man also caters to older kids and curious minds. Teenagers get their very own exclusive hangout spot called Somewhere, packed with DJ workshops, filmmaking and fire shows. Meanwhile, the whole family can explore Einstein\u2019s Garden, a unique, interactive space where you can witness mind-blowing, hands-on performances that make learning feel like pure magic.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Stay nearby<\/h4>\n<div class=\"sdstaynearby\">\n<div class=\"sdcol2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/366\/Merthyr-Tydfil-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB0939.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdcol2 sdlast\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/399\/Newport-Central-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB0420.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-blue wpel-icon-right\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/search\/results?location=NP8%201EA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Search deals<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/justsofestival.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Just So Festival<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21st &#8211;

Capped at around 5,000 attendees, it\u2019s significantly smaller than many major festivals, creating a wonderfully relaxed environment that is perfect for first-time festival-goers.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Just So Festival is entirely centred around children&#8217;s imaginations, literature and wild play. Expect a weekend packed with whimsical adventures like midnight feasts, giant pillow fights, lantern parades and the legendary Tribal Tournament, where whole families commit to dressing up as foxes, owls, or lions to compete for points. For the tiniest attendees, a dedicated area offers everything from baby yoga to lullabies. Older kids can get stuck into wood whittling, den building or theatre workshops in the woods. It is a delightfully organic, screen-free weekend that encourages kids to get muddy, run free and embrace the magic of childhood.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Stay nearby<\/h4>\n<div class=\"sdstaynearby\">\n<div class=\"sdcol2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/122\/Crewe-Barthomley-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB0207.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdcol2 sdlast\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/179\/Stoke-Talke-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB0539.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-blue wpel-icon-right\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/search\/results?location=ST7%203QT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Search deals<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victoriousfestival.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"wpel-icon-right\">Victorious Festival<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">28th &#8211;

Set on Southsea Common with stunning views over the Solent, this three-day extravaganza brilliantly mixes a massive big-name lineup with an incredibly welcoming, community feel. Parents can soak up the seaside sunshine and belly-laugh at fantastic comedy acts, all while enjoying epic 2026 headline sets from music icons like Kasabian, Richard Ashcroft and The Black Keys.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">What truly makes Victorious a winner for families, though, is its massive, dedicated Kids Arena. This mini-festival in itself is packed with completely free activities, from face painting and mini fairground rides to meet-and-greets with TV favourites like Bluey and Fireman Sam. With plenty of spacious, quieter areas and a dedicated baby-change and feeding tent, it is the perfect seaside festival getaway for the whole family!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Stay nearby<\/h4>\n<div class=\"sdstaynearby\">\n<div class=\"sdcol2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/670\/Portsmouth-City-Centre-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB2033.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sdcol2 sdlast\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/hotels\/62\/Portsmouth-hotel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.travelodge.co.uk\/image\/upload\/v1675260555\/ecrm\/hotels-digi\/GB0752.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-blue wpel-icon-right\" href=\"https:\/\/www.travelodge.co.uk\/search\/results?location=Portsmouth%2C+Hampshire&amp;sb=0\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Search deals<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The wellies are packed and the long summer days are calling &#8211; it\u2019s festival season! \ud83c\udfaa The UK is packed with absolutely brilliant, family-friendly festivals this summer that capture all the magic of live music and carnival vibes.
