Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it?! This year Watchet festival was stuffing its face, basking in the hottest august bank holiday on record and oozing quality from every orifice.

With the beautiful backdrop of Gisburn forest, there really is no better place for a family orientated festival. With a range of earthy, simple and relaxing activities mixed with an eclectic array of live music

One of the things I love about Bearded Theory is that its early in the festival season and I, as well as most others seem visibly excited at the prospect of shaking off the winter cobwebs and getting in the swing...
