Latitude, the bohemian festival
Latitude Festival takes places every July at Henham Park Near the delightful seaside town of Southwold in Suffolk. It's been going for over a decade and has won a reputation for a thoughtful Bohemian vibe with big-name acts appearing on its four stages, plus shows by other artists including comedians, poets, writers and dancers. Previous line-ups have included Damien Rice, Jarvis Cocker and Paloma Faith plus comedy giants such as Dylan Moran and Dara � Briain.
Sun yourself in Southwold
The idyllic seaside town of Southwold is around 10 minutes' drive away. Build castles on the sandy beach and wander the traditional pier - there's a golf course in town too for those keen on the game. The town itself has lovely independent boutiques and some good pubs, or for something different catch a film at the small but perfectly formed Electric Picture Palace, a boutique cinema complete with its own organ.
