We are a festival family. We love nothing more than immersing ourselves into the arts in one way or another, music especially. So when we got an invite at the start of last week to Teddy Rocks, we couldn't say yes quick enough. 

Set in the heart of Dorset outside Blandford Forum, Teddy Rocks has grown from a gig at a pub to a three day festival with camping on a farm in a matter of years. What sets this festival apart from others is that it's all for charity to help fight children's cancer. With each year, the money raised getting more and more. It's amazing to see how much music lovers can come together for a worthy cause.

Of course, the music was the main reason we were there, and there was a fantastic range. From local bands, to tribute acts like The Bowie Experience and big names such as Scouting for Girls and Modestep. There was literally something for everyone to enjoy and we loved wandering round seeing what we could discover. We sneaked down after I finished work on the Friday to surprise Max as one of his favourite bands (Twin Atlantic) were headlining. He was in awe that a band he loved so much were literally playing down the road from his house, and he sung along at the top of his lungs to each and every song. 

Living so close to the festival, we decided to drive down each day and with ample parking, we weren't worried about being too late to miss anything. It was great to see so many families out an about enjoying the music and atmosphere, in our eyes it was a fantastic introduction to festivals for families that wanted to see if it was for them! Despite some last minute changes on Sunday due to the weather, we had an amazing time and the on site crew were fantastic at making sure everything ran as smoothly as it possibly could. We also loved that there was a free map and live updates on their website so we could check for any changes.
