  Ah, the great British festival - crawling out of a tent and squelching through foot-deep mud to enjoy a burger for breakfast...Britain has something for all musical tastes, with some of the biggest names in music rocking the stages at the Glastonbury, Reading and V festivals, a chilled hippy vibe at the Green Man festival and edgy beats blasting out of Creamfields. But British festivals aren't all moshpits and partying. You could: soak up some culture at the Edinburgh festivals, where you'll find experimental theatre, comedy, street acts, music, books and opera; be wined and dined by top chefs at the BBC Good Food Summer Festival or chase a giant cheese down a hill at the Stilton World Cheese Rolling Championships; watch performers from all over the globe in the heart of the picturesque Welsh countryside at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod; and, take the kids out for adventure playgrounds, activities and workshops galore at the Outsider Festival or Larmer Tree festival.This is a fun-seeker's guide with a difference, giving you the low-down on the best events taking place up and down the country, in every month of the year.
