Last week we spent a fun-filled five days at the weird and wonderful Somersault Festival in North Devon. It was unlike any festival you would have been to before, with a combination of music, comedy, dance classes, wilderness explorations, yoga and even arts and crafts for the kids! It was the perfect setting for a family trip or a weekend away with friends, with surf lessons and kayaking by day and campfires and DJ forest parties by night.
They had an awesome lineup, including Australian sibling singing duo Angus and Julia Stone, singer-songwriter Laura Marling and folk singing sister trio The Staves. If that wasn't enough to get you there they also had the indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club, the reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, folk singer-songwriter Passenger and even electronic folk band Crystal Fighters.
It may have poured down with rain for most of the time but that didn't dampen our spirits!
The kids had the best views of the main stage
There were also hand-made flower crowns made with real flowers
Some of the best food we had over the five days!
We had some delicious food from Le Bun and some yummy bubble tea for dessert!
They also had a great range of healthy vegetarian options and green smoothies!
They really were Truly Crumptious!
We had no idea what these guys were up to but we definitely liked it- that's one way to celebrate the beautiful weather!
This lovely couple are enjoying our Berry Lemonade and Mango and Raspberry ice lollies
The amazing crowd braved the bad weather and even stayed up past their bedtimes!
Yes that's a giant beach ball at the Crystal Fighters performance
Bombay Bicycle Club showered us in confetti
There were also a couple who did some fantastic performances on a tight rope
While everyone else got the chance to fly through the sky on a trapeze
They even had rock climbing!
As the week progressed the activities got stranger. Here are some photos from the sock wrestling competition!
We tried to take in every moment of sunshine...
There were also plenty of rides!
And one of our LICKALICKers decided to take up a new career in face painting
Everyone chilling out after a long couple of days of rain
And one of our LICKALICKers even joined an all girl band
Through rain or shine!
As per usual, we met the loveliest lolly-loving people and had an incredible time in the process.
