Doune the Rabbit Hole

We are really looking forward to Doune the Rabbit Hole this year.....it is truly family friendly. In conjunction with Kidding Around Collective, throughout the weekend DTRH offers a huge range of activities for kids of all ages from games to crafts. We also have a special Family Camping area which is positioned away from the late night revellers so you can all get some sleep in before the inevitable early rise! We’re very proud to have been named in various publications as amongst the best of the family-friendly festivals in the UK.
