The youngest two really enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2016\/08\/01\/livestock-festival-for-children\/\">Livestock<\/a> last year and were really disappointed that it wasn\u2019t on again this year; so they were super excited to hear that we had been invited by Orchard Pig (to Valleyfest). Plus it was a fantastic opportunity to put up our new tent from Blacks &#8211; &nbsp;who have challenged us to see which family can put up the Eurohike Rydal 600 6 Person Tent in the fastest time! If we weren\u2019t lucky enough with all that we also got sent Pass the Pigs and the Giant Pass the Pigs game AND I have a set to giveaway too!<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23751\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-2.jpg?resize=800%2C596\" alt=\"Camping at Valleyfest\" width=\"800\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-2.jpg?resize=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-2.jpg?resize=768%2C572&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><u>Valleyfest 4<sup>th<\/sup>-6<sup>th<\/sup> August 2017<\/u><\/h2>\n<p>Valleyfest is the ideal Festival for those health conscious, green families &#8211; where there\u2019s plenty to keep you active such as Yoga and Zumba for the whole family and of course plenty of dancing. Set in the Community Farm, Chew Magna Bristol with a dress up theme of Sawdust and Glitter. All combined with lots of tasty freshly cooked local organic food, cookery classes with top chefs and all round fun for all. The organic farm tries to be as Green as possible and encourages a reduction in the traffic by suggesting lift shares, whilst giving information on how to arrive by bicycle and bus. There is plenty of drinking water and it is advised that festival goers bring a reusable drinks bottle. Plus the drinks at the bars come with a reusable cup (for an additional one off charge)! In fact I was really impressed with all the recycling facilities. With a variety of great music playing until the late hours (well 1 and 2am), with Vintage Tractors, live animals, entertainment for kids, films, a Midnight Feast and Sunday Picnic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXbLER0B6zV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

There were some minor pet peeves (such as not being able to cook our own food in the camping area, but people doing it anyway &#8211; and the food still being expensive; late night drunks not having respect for others &#8211; but they were dealt with; and unexpectedly being charged for the children\u2019s Yoga). Although the food was delicious (and we enjoyed easily all being able to opt for different things). Frustrating when we spent \u00a326 on five Tom\u2019s Toasties and then 2 of the boys decided that they weren\u2019t hungry! It was great that there were a couple of Vegan Options &#8211; and I was particularly impressed with The Vegan Pyramid where I had a tasty humus salad (which I intend to recreate at home &#8211; more coming soon about our steps to trying a more vegan lifestyle).<br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O-iomgy8YAs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><br \/>\nOverall though it was a good festival, it was just a shame that it wasn&#8217;t made more clear on the programme which entertainment for the children was free and which came with a charge. I was sad that the Junk Fish stopped at 5pm (but they very kindly provided us with materials to make our own rock guitar at home as we had missed out on making them there); which was when the music was cranked right up, until it ended (in our case at 2am). Also it felt that there was very little for my teen who wasn\u2019t that interested in the music (apart from the Rodeo Bull and Clay Pigeon Shooting &#8211; but perhaps he was just being difficult due to his age). There was no quiet area to camp and we had actually pitched up the furthest point away from the festival (and it was very loud). But it is set in such a wonderful location &#8211; with stunning views and where children can run wild &#8211; and\/or throw hay! You cannot fault the cleanliness of the Festival &#8211; with rubbish always being cleared away &#8211; plus we were even offered bags if needed! Plus the toilets in the camping area were quickly cleaned and restocked the next morning. Everything seemed very well organised and everyone was having a great time.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-at-night.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23752\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-at-night.jpg?resize=800%2C600\" alt=\"Valleyfest 2017 Somerset festival\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-at-night.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-at-night.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/valleyfest-at-night.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><u>Valleyfest and Orchard Pig<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>A Somerset festival wouldn\u2019t be right without some local cider and the go to brand this summer is definitely <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orchardpig.co.uk\/\">Orchard Pig<\/a>: Who happen to be making appearances at lots of top festivals across the country to get tails wagging come rain or shine! <strong>Orchard Pig invited my family and I to Valleyfest<\/strong>; to discover the celebration of a zest for life, a love of good food and sharing with those you love. After his parents passed away Luke Hasell took over the farm and started Valleyfest in their memory. Passionate about connecting people with their food and the land. This makes Orchard Pig the perfect accompaniment &#8211; with the draught pigs being full of Somerset character!<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/orchard-pig-the-drink-of-fun-for-festivals.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23754\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/orchard-pig-the-drink-of-fun-for-festivals.jpg?resize=800%2C533\" alt=\"Orchard Pig Festival\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/orchard-pig-the-drink-of-fun-for-festivals.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/orchard-pig-the-drink-of-fun-for-festivals.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/orchard-pig-the-drink-of-fun-for-festivals.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Orchard Pig is gluten free, and suitable for vegetarians, vegans and fruitarians. It is pleasantly not gassy (as it is gently carbonated and have more apples!) The type I drank most was <strong>Reveller<\/strong> &#8211; which also has freshly squeezed lime in it (does that make it two of my five a day!), with a gentle sparkle to enhance the flavour and making it light. I also tried Explorer, which like Reveller is 4.5%.and has a lingering ripe sweetness to make an easy drinking Somerset cider. Orchard Pig is bold, simple, mischievous and inclusive in all it does with six draught options and an extra two bottle flavours &#8211; so there is a Somerset Cider perfect for everyone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Facebook:&nbsp;<\/strong><em>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OrchardPig<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Twitter<\/strong>:&nbsp;<em><span class=\"username u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">@Orchardpig<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><u>Valleyfest Weekend Camping with Blacks<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>The journey down to Valleyfest wasn\u2019t a fun one. We hadn\u2019t been able to make it until the Saturday and there was an accident involving a lorry and a lot of flour on the M5 southbound. That and with a hail storm it wasn\u2019t the best driving conditions. The Blacks Campaign, called \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacks.co.uk\/campsitecharacters\">Characters of the Campsite<\/a>,\u2019 delves into the distinct types of camper and why people camp. They had sent us our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacks.co.uk\/equipment\/tents-camping\/tents\/\">tent<\/a> and challenged us to put it up in the quickest time&nbsp;(this is also where you will see how well we did with the challenge compared to others!). Hubby wasn\u2019t too impressed with then having to handle putting the tent up in windy conditions and&nbsp;I guess it wasn\u2019t the best way to start a challenge to pitch our tent in the quickest time. My family were in no mood to have the rules explained to them and ended up falling out.&nbsp;My husband ended up pretty much putting the tent up by himself with a bit of help from our 9 year old.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/putting-the-tent-up.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23748\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/putting-the-tent-up.jpg?resize=800%2C535\" alt=\"tent up in wind\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/putting-the-tent-up.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/putting-the-tent-up.jpg?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/putting-the-tent-up.jpg?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There were these people on a microphone driving around the festival making everyone laugh and they just started cracking jokes about us &#8211; in a cheeky mischievous way (again a lot like Orchard Pig). We haven\u2019t really done much camping compared to staying in hotels and caravans!) but it seemed straightforward enough for hubby to put the tent up following the instructions. He said it was easier than our previous tent and definitely easier to put away again (especially fitting it back in the bag). It was certainly easier and lighter to carry from the car than our previous tent. I am really pleased to say that it was waterproof too &#8211; with a storm through the night and everything inside staying dry!<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eurohike-Rydal-600-6-Person-Tent.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23749\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eurohike-Rydal-600-6-Person-Tent.jpg?resize=800%2C533\" alt=\"Eurohike Rydal 600 6 Person Tent\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eurohike-Rydal-600-6-Person-Tent.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eurohike-Rydal-600-6-Person-Tent.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eurohike-Rydal-600-6-Person-Tent.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Twitter: @blacks_online&nbsp;#campsitecharacters<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Instagram: blacks_online<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Facebook: blacksonline<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><u>Pass the Pigs &#8211; Festival Fun and GIVEAWAY<\/u><\/h3>\n<p>Talking of rain we actually were pretty lucky that it wasn\u2019t really wet when we wanted to be out.
