Adam Buxton’s ‘Festival Song’ always raises a wry smile as I blush and giggle my way through it – knowing that he is referring to people like me. However, not to be put off by what anyone thinks, it’s time to book my tickets, ‘stuff the chill bag with nibbles and wine’ and head to Somersault in the beautiful grounds of Castle Hill, North Devon.
Somersault is a 5 day festival from 23rd – 27th July, jam packed with lots to do for all ages.
It is particularly a little ones paradise. There is so much to do – the beach, crafts, outdoor activities, story telling, theater workshops and circus performing. Hartbeeps Happy House welcomes teeny ones into a world overflowing with characters, beautiful music, puppets and fabulous props. Our Lost Boys Hideaway is full to brim with adventures for your little tykes and Hattie & Flora’s art camp will be opening doors to little creative sides. You can also hire a nanny or babysitter to take care of the little ones.
Time to dust off that old tent…
