Run by the Levellers, and set in the Grounds of Escot Park not far from Exeter in Devon, Beautiful Days is a small family-friendly festival with a distinct personality. There is no corporate sponsorship so the food stalls, beer tents and other merchandise stalls are all small or independent businesses.
The festival has music and entertainment across six stages plus a large children's area in the centre of the site, a walkabout theatre, amazing site art, comedy, theatre, family camping, food and craft stalls, a healing area, play areas and real ale bars. Now in its 11th year, this is a very relaxed but extremely well organised festival, with a loyal following coming back year after year. The Levellers always play the first set of the weekend and the finale on the main arena stage on Sunday night. You may well also bump into them in the bar.
