Best summer festivals with kids

Pub in the Park

Where: Opens at Wimbledon Park, followed by other venues around the country including Marlow and Bath

When: 12 May and then weekends throughout the summer

Chef Tom Kerridge has turned what was initially a straightforward food festival in a Marlow park into a real extravaganza full of demos, tastes, celebs and dancing.

What’s great is there is plenty for children to enjoy while grown-ups try food and drink from Atul Kochhar, Brindisa, Kerridge himself and much more.

For the launch event in Wimbledon, there are music sets from Bananarama, The Feeling and Clean Bandit, while other bands join later in the tour, including the Sugababes (er, we personally can’t wait for that one in particular).
