It's a big crowd and if they start moving around, you are less likely to track them down. I'm giving my daughter a walkie talkie. The security staff are excellent with dealing with lots children.<br /><br />Its also a good idea to point out some landmarks eg the castle steps, so you can agree that if your party gets split up, you have a prearranged venue and time.<br /><br />You can make it as sensible or as crazy as you want to at CB. If it's your first time, you may want to avoid taking them to the silent disco until 3am lolmama sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968665687389628553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222422384584652416.post-51272199044802630392012-06-30T18:31:33.884+01:002012-06-30T18:31:33.884+01:00Hey Mrs M, see you there :)

Cartons of fruit juice are good, dried fruit, nuts etc<br /><br />Do you have a festival trolley? They make like a lot easier. I am warning you now, if you are taking Clemmie it is a LONG walk from the campervan field to the main arena, so once you are out for the day, it's unlikely you will want to pop back.<br /><br />In terms of costumes, I am going for a disco theme, my husband is going for a 70s athlete look, son is probably going as a superhero.mama sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968665687389628553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222422384584652416.post-59750346000477561602012-06-29T00:04:39.582+01:002012-06-29T00:04:39.582+01:00There are loads of blogs and bits of advice hidden...There are loads of blogs and bits of advice hidden away on my site but unfortunately it has all got into a bit of a mess because there's so much on there it can be hard to find everything. <br /><br />The key blog (with links to several other good bits) is the Family Festival Survival Guide (http://www.festivalkidz.com/fun/festival-survival-guide/) <br /><br />But really my best tip is to just go with the flow, and whatever you don't manage well this year you will learn from and have an even better time next year!

Glo sticks (Poundland) and a bucket (night-time toilet!)<br />Where can I buy the cheapest flower garlands for our hair? Primark. <br />Food and drinks are generally expensive so take some drinks cartons/bottles and snacks for the kids, who will probably be hungry all the time if they are anything like mine!<br /><a href="http://wedonteatanythingwithaface.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/family-friendly-festival-guide-and.html" rel="nofollow">family festival guide</a>Lisa @FacelessFoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034893936321956118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222422384584652416.post-85837647858552568292012-06-28T21:18:54.019+01:002012-06-28T21:18:54.019+01:00Well, as this will be our third Camp Bestival, I f...Well, as this will be our third Camp Bestival, I feel vaguely qualified to answer some of your questions:<br /><br />1. Take cash as there are only a couple of cash machines on site. They don't do free withdrawals, there's pretty much always a heinous queue and they have been known to run out of money...<br /><br />2. I wouldn't go without a trip to Costco beforehand to stock up on carton drinks for the boys, crisps and snack bars. ;)<br /><br />3. Fairy Love always have a tent selling stuff there and hair garlands are about a fiver. I seem to have fallen into the habit of buying a new one in a different colour each time. http://www.fairylove.com/ :)<br /><br />4. When you arrive go and get wristbands for you and your children before you even set up camp. They put parents' mobile numbers on the child wristbands so that someone can contact you if they go missing. We didn't do this last time and then lost the then Two Year Old for about an hour while putting the tent up. People were amazing though and he was restored to us by a large crowd of very un-judgemental and lovely strangers and stewards!<br /><br />5. We take about £300 between us - there are four of us, we don't do our own cooking, I'm a strict vegetarian and we neither of us enjoy getting drunk.<br /><br />6. We don't do the whole dressing up thing. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222422384584652416.post-6634957066202099902012-06-28T21:15:26.526+01:002012-06-28T21:15:26.526+01:00Thank you!
