About our Events
Elderflower Fields
A 3 day, green-field family festival, based on the Ashdown Forest in an AONB.
Established in 2012. Owned and produced by So Sussex. Grown to capacity of 4.6k customers. Total on site including crew, performers etc. is approximately 6.5k.
Our focus is on getting kids and their families outside, immersed in a natural environment and enjoying quality sports, arts and nature based activities together.
In 2020 we are launching a second Elderflower Fields festival in the Midlands.
Into the Trees
A 2 day / 3 night family nature festival, based on the Ashdown Forest in an AONB.
Established in 2016.Owned and produced by So Sussex. Currently in the region of 2.5k customers.
It is a spin off from Elderflower Fields with a much heavier focus on nature, wildlife and the environment, but still with the primary objective of getting families to be active outdoors together.
What People Say About our Events
“The ideal first festival for families, Elderflower Fields is hip, intimate & independent…” – The Guardian.
“Elderflower Fields has raised the bar for what I now want out of a family festival. It really is the festival for parents who aren’t quite sure about taking their family to a festival. Small, but not in a way that there’s nothing to do. It’s quite the opposite in fact…” – Festivals for All
“Into the Trees is all about spending time together as a family whilst reconnecting with nature and embracing your inner child. We love it! It’s one of our favourite events of the year.” – Juggling on Rollerskates
“One of the most family-friendly events on the entire festival calendar… If you’re thinking of taking your family to their first festival this year, this could be a great one to start with.” – Evening Standard
“Best festival for trying new things: The children’s activities programme at Elderflower Fields is hard to beat for a festival of this size.” – Festival Kidz
“[Into the Trees] is such a gorgeous event… There are so many opportunities for children to explore and create and run freely. The whole family had an absolutely wonderful time.” Festival Kidz
