Latitude Festival

In case the fairytale setting of forest, lake and meadow aren't beautiful enough, the beach at Southwold isn't too far away. But we'll be surprised if you find the time for a paddle what with so much comedy, theatre, spoken word and dance on the bill, not to mention a cracking alt.rock and pop bill. It might be the most middle class of all summer festivals, but what festival isn't? And with Nick Cave on hand to darken the spirits at the close of the weekend, you'll definitely feel a little less safe. Other acts include Pet Shop Boys, Grace Jones and Doves.
