I took my toddler to her first music festival - here’s what I wish I’d known first (and a few things I’m glad I did)
We’d still do all the things we did before, like go to festivals - she’d just slot in with whatever we wanted to do. Wouldn’t she?
At Bluedot though, that hardly matters. There’s plenty to do away from the music stages, with a full programme of family entertainment including science shows and activities, kids’ film screenings, dance classes and discos, plus attractions such as the Actual Reality Arcade, an interactive games zone bringing classics like PacMan and Tetris to life.
I don’t negotiate with terrorists, so in the end we just kept her away from the loudest areas as much as possible.A camping trolley would have been a better investment I’d seen kids being carted about in them at festivals before, tucked in with cosy blankets beneath twinkling fairy lights, and thought they looked like a great idea. But for a once-a-year outing , I didn’t think the cost-per-use stacked up for me.
I saw lots of parents far better prepared than me with three-wheeled mountain buggies or bike trailers breezing across the grass. Fortunately a good portion of the Jodrell Bank site is paved and accessible, and there were plenty of other people managing just fine with ordinary prams. Turns out there are definitely gentler ways to rouse a toddler from a nap than the blistering acid house blasting out from the Deep Space Disco stage.
