It's winter - unfortunately there's no festivals around at the moment. But no reason to worry, for tickets are already on sale for some major British festivals... Download.. Reading... I'm sure V Festival will be on sale soon too. Lots of reasons to start wiping the dust off your tent and invest in some wellies soon (if you haven't already done so due to this disgusting English weather!).
So, what is a music festival? There really isn't any other way to describe other than lots of people getting together to enjoy the music they love. A range of festivals are available nowadays - jazz, folk, pop, and my personal favorite, rock.
At these festivals you'll find there might be a few different stages, with the main stage hosting the biggest bands/most well known bands. There's generally plenty of food/refreshments places, stalls that sell ...

I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights.
LOCATION:
The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement.

It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal.
PRICE:
Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
Advantages: great atmosphere. Disadvantages: So many festivals, so little time!
all sorts of interesting people.
The best thing about folk festivals (apart from the excellent music) is the atmosphere - it's all very friendly and welcoming. You can let your children run around and you can leave your tent without having to worry about it. Most of the performers will be around over the weekend, enjoying the rest of the festival, which means you can get to talk to them - it's nice having accesible artists, something you don't get at larger more mainstream events.
Here's a few names of festivals if you want to look them out - Whitby (runs for a week.) Bromyard (Weekend at the end of septmeber, Midlands.), Upton on Severn,(may bank holiday.) Padstow May day (Big event, well worth seeing.). Sidmouth (runs for a week, huge festival, international artists.), Cheltenham,(February, indoor camping.) Cambridge,(There's also ...
