Boomtown Vibes: The 10 Stages Where you Might Find Us at Chapter 11

Boomtown Chapter 11- No Time Like the Present

2019 is turning out to be pretty special for us. We’ve got so many festivals to blog about, we don’t know where to begin. This year is also our first time attending the magnificent audio and visual feast that is Boomtown Fair. We’re not sure why exactly it’s taken us so long to get involved in this absolute monster of an event.  After all Boomtowns outrageously themed sectors and stages are the stuff, that most festival heads’ dreams are made of.  What ever the reason, here we are and Chapter 11 will be our first experience of this immersive city.  Check out our previous Boomtown Vibes post, where we have listed 5 reasons why 2019 is the time to hit the Radical City!

Starry Skies Vibes: Why We’re Going to get Mucky This Summer at Starry Skies Festival

Look to Starry Skies

If you’ve been following us for a while, you will know that one of our favourite past times is Festivaling.  Is that even a word? If not we’re claiming it.  Going to Festivals as a family is our way of spending precious time with each other! It’s also a way to experience a festival through Emerson’s eyes. His impression when he hears music ,and all the bright colours!  Or the way he chases a group of running children into the woods gives us pure joy.   

GoBoat Vibes: A Review of the new GoBoat Kingston Location

Cruising the Thames With GoBoat

Last month we were invited to Kingston, to trial the new GoBoat location ahead of its official launch.  We live so close to the Thames, and have often dreamt about hiring a boat for a spot of cruising, whilst we have walked the tow paths.  The sailors along the Thames always look like they are living the dream!   Waving at us mere mortals, whilst chugging a beer, carefree in the beaming sunshine.  That’s the dream right there!  So when we got this invite there wasnt ever a chance that we were going to say No.

Kew Gardens Vibes: A Preview of the new Children’s Garden

Kew Gardens Friends

We’ve been ‘Friends of Kew’ members for the past 15 months, and one of the perks of being ‘pals’ with the gorge botanical gardens is unlimited entry to our happy place all year round.  We’ve made sure that we visit during every season.  Yes, that includes Winter!  A perfect excuse to wrap up warm and get out the house, during those cold dark months.

Boomtown Vibes: “5 Reasons why It’s Time to go to Boomtown : Chapter 11 – A Radical City

Boomtown Chapter 11 – A Radical City. It’s Time

It’s no big secret that me and Keeley are a bit “festival obsessed.  We’ve spent the best part of 17 years trying to satisfy our hunger for these huge outdoor musical playgrounds.  No matter how many we attend, we are never truly satisfied, there’s always a new experience to be had in a venue we’ve never visited. That’s why we spend most of our days dreaming about what our next big festival is going to be. Boomtown we’re looking at you. read more
