In many ways Playgroup is everything a festival should be – packed with adventure and silliness but not packed head to toe with tents and toilet queues. Situated in the Kent countryside, it expects a manageable crowd of around 2,000 spread across a handful of music stages hosting BOY COM, The Correspondents, Carnival Collective, Grasscut, Los Albertos and more, covering everything from gypsy swing to glitch hop.

Also on site are magical mystery tour buses, a cinema tent, installation art and cabaret, plus the best food and drink around including lots from the local area. True city escapism in a sociable setting that’s half as far as London with twice the attraction – hey, there’s no exhaust fumes here, just party people enjoying the beautiful mayhem.

We’ve got a pair of tickets to give away – email [email protected] with PLAYGROUP as the subject for a chance to win (we’ll draw it on Weds 27th).

Meanwhile, buy tickets before they disappear here.
