I took my toddler to her first music festival - here’s what I wish I’d known first (and a few things I’m glad I did)

Before I had my daughter, I didn’t think my life would change that much. Would it?

We’d still do all the things we did before, like go to festivals - she’d just slot in with whatever we wanted to do. Wouldn’t she?

Then I actually had her (along with a sharp reality check) and the idea of travelling for miles to camp in a muddy field with a baby suddenly seemed about as appealing as an episiotomy. Luckily, we’ve got Bluedot Festival on our doorstep here in the north west - one of the most family-friendly festivals in the UK and only a half-hour drive from home for us, meaning it’s totally do-able as a day trip if you don’t fancy the full weekend experience.
