The Avis Rent A Car team are getting into the festival mood this summer, dusting off tents and packing up sleeping bags ready for the UK’s best festivals. Here they share some of their best kept secrets with you, from the alternative to the very fishy!

Solfest 2009 – held on the August bank holiday weekend (28th- 30th August) at Tarnside Farm in West Cumbria, Solfest aims to create a great atmosphere through its sense of community. Welcoming everyone from all walks of life to four music stages, workshops and classes from Yoga to Burlesque; drumming to Sing-A-Long-A-Soundwave!

80’s Rewind Festival – on the 21st - 23rd of August in Temple Island Meadows, Henley on Thames. If you’ve got love for the 80’s then this is the festival for you! All the original acts of the era will be dusting off their spandex and busting the moves on stage once more. You can visit the fun fair, comedy tent and eat all the posh nosh you like at this festival and you can even moor your boat for the weekend if you please! Tickets £90 including camping.
Newquay Fish Festival – being held from the 18th-20th of September, this festival is not just for fans of the fruits of the sea, but those looking for a fun day out too.

These are just a few of the different festivals around the UK, from small-and-intimate to big-and-loud, to help the British public enjoy their summertime. So there’s no excuse to stay at home – grab some mates and a couple of tents and head off for some summer fun!
