Planning your perfect summer? Stand aside Glastonbury: we've selected the chicest, boutiquest & best music festivals the UK has to offer
Wilderness Festival, one of top picks
The Best UK Boutique Festivals
Our rolling hills, seaside idylls and city parks play host to some of the best festivals in the world. Music, art, literature, gastronomy: the days when attending music festival meant drinking through a hangover and picking mud from your hair-do are long gone.
It takes a bit of expertise to sift through the calendar, though, especially if you're looking for something a bit different. Some festivals are too loud, some too teenage, some too vast. And then there are those that are just right.
Read on and discover the most beautiful arts festivals in Britain with the Culture Whisper Summer Festival Guide 2016. Whether you're looking for London's finest headliners or a weekend in the great outdoors, we've got something for you.
