STANDON CALLING 3RD - 5TH AUGUST
Bigger doesn't necessarily mean better in festival land.
Standon Calling is a prime example of this, it's relatively a small festival with a capacity of around 5,000 yet it gives punters an intimate experience festival culture. Hosted on Alex Trenchards manor house grounds, and started with a mere 25 guests and some decks has now grown into the festival it was destined to be. Based in Hertford- shire it's about 40 mins north of London The festival has a theme of 'Journey to the ends of the earth' and appeals to the family friendly vibe with activities for youngsters including face painting. There aren't many festivals around the UK that boast a swimming pool, hot air bal- loon rides along with a 6 o'clock music license and some brilliant music! On the bill this year are; Chk Chk Chk, Beardyman, King Charles, The Nextmen and many more. This festival is a true reflection of how us Brits know how to have a good ol' time.
