Hi there I havent yet as mine are only 8months but I would think just like any festivals some parts of it are gonna be suitable & some not so!
I would assume...that green ones would hopefully cater more for children?might be worth ringing the organisers & asking whats there for kids,it may be theres stuff duing the day but not so much in the evening.
Have you got one mind?

I live near the site of Newcastle's.
There is always lots for children during the day but I don't know about night time and it is always noisy with the amplified music. Also the toilets are not very nice.

I have never noticed any violence or trouble, apart from the noise it seems a peaceful affair.

I've not done so but some friends have and I am thinking of the Wicker man festival in July...some friends took their 4 year old to a fire festival up here in Scotland and I was told it was very child friendly, the smaller one's are I believe better as there's less chance of loosing one's charge. A thought that petrifies me! Any one else been to the Wicker Man? Nickey

I javen't but have heard good things about it, particuarly that it is quite family oriented!

Here's their website.

i went to Big Green Gathering this year, and there were loads of families, and there were special things on for kids.

I'll second that! - the BGG is one long party for the kids, and Mum and Dad too! - if they want to dress up as a fairy all day, that's fine - so can you!
I normally dislike kids- at BGG, without junk food, they were great!
