Why Tetfest is the Must-Attend Family Festival of the Summer

A Winter Blues remedy!

If you’re currently struggling with the winter blues and feel the need for a boost, there is an answer: book your tickets for Tetfest, Tetbury’s fun family festival that comes around every summer and delivers excitement and entertainment for young and old alike.

With fantastic live music, fairground rides, fabulous food stalls, a well-stocked bar and a whole host of free activities for the kids, there is no better place to be.

Attracting nearly 4,000 visitors every year, Tetfest is an event not to be missed – and because ticket prices are kept well within reach of ordinary folk there is no reason why you shouldn’t be enjoying the event this year.

Just imagine…

It’s the middle of July and you are sitting on a picnic blanket at Worwell Farm, surrounded by all the people you love best. You have a cocktail or perhaps a chilled pint in your hand and you are listening to music that is so good it makes you want to get up and dance. 

You look round for the kids and see them running excitedly across the festival site to the special children’s enclosure where a multitude of activities have been laid on just for them. For a moment your instinct is to run after them, worried that they won’t be safe on their own, but then you remember that this is Tetfest, and they are perfectly secure because Tetfest is contained within an enclosed site.

You immediately relax, knowing the children’s entertainment area will keep them amused for ages. And best of all, none of it will cost you a penny because all the activities in that area are free. What a bonus!

But what about the big kids, I hear you ask?

What’s going to keep them amused while you relax in the sun?

Don’t worry – Tetfest has thought of that.

With three adrenalin-fuelled fairground rides, a chance to learn circus skills and a silent disco, there’s plenty for them to do, and for you to do with them.

Come on – haven’t you always wanted to learn how to juggle and don’t you secretly wish you could stick on a pair of headphones and dance like no one is watching you? All these activities should keep them busy for a while, and when they come back starving – as kids always are – you can get them something delicious to eat from one of the many reasonably priced food stalls that are dotted around the festival site.

Dance the night away

As the afternoon drifts towards evening and the music ramps up you suddenly hear a song that takes you right back to your own younger years and before you know it you are up and dancing, caught in the moment and reliving all your memories.

The kids are laughing at your dad dancing and joining in with their own dance moves. Everyone is having a blast. This is the best fun you’ve had as a family for ages, and you just don’t want the night to end.

But all good things must come to an end and by 10.30pm the kids are tired; the music has reached its crescendo and it’s time to go. You pack up your picnic blankets and chairs, hand back your silent disco headsets and slowly make your way back home. Tetfest may be over for another year, but you already know that you’ll come back next year because why wouldn’t you? Memories are better than dreams!
