Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Pre children and this would have been just my scene. Reading the website I was looking forward to a progressive festival full of alternative views and anti-system enlightenment with a family friendly vibe. What I found was an woodland rave with a licence.
Having my camping gear searched thoroughly one entrance it appeard (on the surface) that security was tight- looking into the starspangled faces of other festival goers I question what the hell security were looking for.
As promised the music was 24hour, it was also notched up at 11pm and again at 4am- with the rich heavy basslines reaching my tent with a seismic force capable of shaking me awake- often. Despite asking numerous stewards, family camping (as advertised) was nowhere to be found- I camped us within 100yards on the furthest boundary fence.
There were a few activities put on throughout the day, which were hugely welcome and for which my children were very thankful of: wild child forest school, magic potion making, circus skills, hula hooping workshop, sock puppet making and one or two more- they saved the weekend. Unfortunately there was no children's tent available, with the rain we experienced that would have been invaluable. As trying to seek shelter in the music tents led to son commenting, "can we get out of here all this smoke smells horrible."
If OneTribe hadn't been advertised as a family friendly festival- to which I went as a single parent with a 9yrs old and 4yrs old, if I'd have gone with a group of mates instead then I would now be describing the best days of my summer.

Brilliant friendly little festival, beautiful setting. Could do with a couple of drinking water taps inside arena.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

It was a really nice festival. Great workshops and really good music. Would have like more musical diversity though i.e: world music, bands...

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Excellent festival for our music taste - most relaxed and friendly I've been to. Good location and setup, in particular the Forest zone - a magical and creative space with a wonderful vibe. Land of the drum treated us to some weird and wonderful live bands. My 7 year old son met plenty of friends to play with amongst trees and hay stacks, as well as dancing away the night. More toilets would help.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Amazing small festival with amazing people. The music was spot on and the decor was incredible- especially the forest stage. Loved the fact music was on all night and day so you could dip in and out when you wanted to. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

This was my first time to Audio Farm and it was amazing and met some amazing people as well, the music was awesome as were the set ups. The toilets were cleaned twice a day and everybody did there bit to keep everything tidy. I certainly did my bit of clearing up rubbish and gained a few free beer tokens too. My favourite place was the forest and loved the staging there keep it up guys will definitely come again thoroughly enjoyed the five days well worth the price of the tickets. MASSIVE THUMBS UP keep up the good work all for a well worthy cause. xxx

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Overall amazing experience, good people, good vibes and beautiful atmosphere. It's the perfect size with just the right amount of stages not too far apart from each other. I'd definitely return again next year. Our only qualm was the organisation of the lost property department when my partner unfortunately either lost or had his wallet stolen, which was never returned. Everything else was exquisite, thank you one tribe!

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

A great idea, but didn't deliver as expected. Food was poor, volume was far too quiet and selection of music came across as boring at times. Not enough toilets on site and only 1 water point in camping, so it was difficult to wash/ clean anything. Won't be going again.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Good size of the festival, easy to find friends and easy to get to each stages.
Can see a lot of efforts been put into declaration.
I really enjoyed morning yoga and mediation classes, good way to start the day.
Everyone was really happy to contributed and be involved.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

a real indie festival

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

I loved the workshops great people bringing special things, although the music was too loud and on for too long, all night should of had a break from the early hours. and the music was too close to the healing area. More world music was needed instead of constant repetitive banging music all night long.

Review of Audio Farm Presents One Tribe Festival

Very friendly festival and making an great effort. A little difficult to find out what was on and when other than the music. Fab yoga. Not much at all for teenagers but a bit on for younger kids, just took a while to find. Some very open drug taking not great in front of kids and some very off their head party goers who were a bit intimidating. wouldn't recommend this festival to families with younger kids for those reasons. Possibly need to rethink the camping arrangements, whilst we mostly enjoyed this festival the very loud music until 6am with no quiet camping was a real difficulty with a family. Hopefully some of the organisers stayed in tents on the main camping to see how it was .
