Stendhal 2023 was a triumph with its record breaking crowds, (mostly) glorious sunshine and the famously relaxed atmosphere in full swing again at Ballymully Cottage Farm.
A Stendhal fan since the earliest days of the festival, your reporter had decided to make 2023 the year to finally brave a weekend camping with my primary-school aged son - rather than the usual escapades with not-very-grown-up friends.
The organisers have worked hard over the years to create a family friendly atmosphere and the entire weekend proved a delight for both father and son, with the funfair, ubiquitous artwork, and children's activities adding as much to the occasion as the music.
