Elderflower Fields is a small, independent festival, created in 2012 by a team of friends and set within the stunning private grounds and magical woodland of Pippingford Park in the Ashdown Forest – the perfect environment for kids and grown-ups to fully escape for the weekend.
Now entering its eighth year, Elderflower Fields builds upon a winning formula for a festival designed especially for families with children. It’s an exciting and unique family experience that opens children and their parents’ minds to new opportunities in sport, music, the arts, the environment and food in the great outdoors.

What we love about this festival.
This is the ideal first festival for families. It has a really intimate and caring feel and there is so much to try.
Camping and Glamping Options
Camping and parking are both included in the ticket price. There are two main camping fields and plenty of space. All the camping areas are quiet as this is a family festival. There are hot showers freely available and an area for campers and caravans. Why not try the Boutique camping option? You will be treated to a free buggy service and can choose from bell tents, tipis, lotus tents or pre-pitched tents.
