This year I will find time to show my eight year old daughter some of the headliners, while leaving the really little ones somewhere else for an hour or two. Nick,
You’re right. This year I will find time to show my eight year old daughter some of the headliners, while leaving the really little ones somewhere else for an hour or two.

We had been to Glastonbury before but without the kids. I would recommend that parents take their kids at least once (they are not coming this year but may next year) Totally agree with the majority of your points apart from the Kids field and Headliners. I enjoyed watching my Son tightrope walk, get his face painted and ride a unicycle (kinda). The queue for the zip line in the kids field was a bit of a pain as he wanted to go on it a dozen times!> We took them to see a lot of the headline acts. We didn't dive into the front apart from for my Son's favorite act, The Prodigy. Getting right at the front with a 7yr old may seem like madness, bad parenting etc to some people, especially to watch the Prodigy, but it is a moment my son and I will share forever. He sat on my shoulders raving away, people around us gave us loads of space once they realised that he was young, they were impressed that he loved the Prodigy and was cheering and singing away like a loon. Other ravers gave him glowsticks and high 5's throughout the entire set. When I got tired (long before him!) and started walking back through the cround towards the back of the Other Stage field people were high fiving him again and commenting on his raving.. he was beaming. I loved taking my Kids to Glastonbury, and they loved it too. Pack light, take ££££ and be prepared to provide lots of shoulder rides :) Hi,
