With a jam-packed line-up of comedy, music and activities, Latitude Festival has been named the best family festival at a national awards ceremony.
The festival, which takes place in Henham Park in Southwold every July, scooped the prize at the UK Festival Awards in London.
Latitude was praised for its appeal to all ages and its family entertainment programme was also celebrated.
This isn’t the first time the Suffolk festival has won at the UK Festival Awards as it was also named the best major festival in 2017,
The family-friendly event runs every July across over 20 stages including a kids area with theatre, teen area and enchanted garden.
This year’s family programme included wildlife and bush craft adventure, hip hop Shakespeare and Circus 250 workshops.
There is also a dedicated family campsite for parents with children under 16 and festival organisers also run a schools programme giving teachers the opportunity to bring students to Latitude for the day.
Sharon Reuben, Kids and Family Programmer at Latitude, said: “It’s amazing to be recognised as the UK’s Best Family Festival for a second time.
“We work hard to create a dynamic and exciting programme for every generation, and it’s a joy to see families exploring, enjoying and being together at Latitude.

This summer’s music line-up included The Killers, alt-J and Solange and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher even played a secret set.
There was also plenty of comedy, literature and poetry from big names such as James Acaster, Sandi Toksvig and Reggie Yates.
