V Festival (Chelmsford)
There is not much to say. Festival goers or not everyone has heard of V Festival. Perfect for veteran festival goers or newbies wanting their first festival experience. V is a large corporate festival but don't let that put you off as it has a linup to impress every year. 2013 played host to Beyonce, Kings Of Leon, Stereophonics to name just a few and 2014 promises to be just as exciting.
V-Chelmsford based in Essex is somewhat of a TOWIE mecca so if you are looking for a clean fun festival near Essex this is the one.
