Festinho August 27, 2010

An intimate, friendly festival in a magical setting, Festinho is a delicious cocktail of the best in eclectic music, sunny Brazilian vibes, a laid-back feel and shedloads of wonderful nonsense. All profits go to the ABC Trust, which helps Brazilian children and young people on the streets to transform their lives.

You’ll be pleased to hear that we haven’t Tinkered with things too much since last year. You'll still find acts and artists you know and love, and you'll also find the absolute best of fresh new talent from London to Salvador, so whether you like to rave one up or folk one off, get ready for some musical adventures.

Festinho certainly ain't no place for a respectable pirate…so there will also be fun and games for kids (and, if there are any real grown ups, then them too) all over the site. Angel Gardens are back, with bags full of ideas and imagination. We’ll have bedtime stories around campfires, a hidden Art Trail, Healers and of course, the Kids Carnival. Look out for our dedicated and delicious Tea Rooms, keep a straight face (if you can, when you’re having so much fun!) at the Casino, or just kick back and relax in the bigger, better, bolder Picture House, with live film rescores, AV sets and chilled out performances from some of our more ambient acts.

Still don’t believe? OK. How about a full programme of Cabaret and Comedy acts too, in the comfort of a cosy corner of the House? Or the 4 Bars that’ll be serving your medicine of choice, as ever including caipirinhas with more bite than a clock-swallowing crocodile? Or at some of the finest festival Food Stalls we could find?
