Elderflower Fields is a wild weekend family adventure, packed full of music, sports, nature and the arts, all set in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside.

This small, safe and friendly festival, is designed especially for families with younger children. We believe in the transformative power of spending time immersed in nature, letting kids be a little bit wild and free, and in appreciating great food and the arts together with friends.

"The ideal first festival for families, Elderflower Fields is hip, intimate & independent... The nature programme is unparalleled." 

"One of the most family-friendly events on the entire festival calendar... If you're thinking of taking your family to their first festival this year, this could be a great one to start with." 

"Best festival for trying new things: The children's activities programme at Elderflower Fields is hard to beat."
