Travfest returns for a second year – and this time it’s free
The travel industry’s exclusive family festival, Travfest, is returning this summer.
Travfest, which was launched last year, will hold its second event in Petersfield, Hampshire, on Saturday July 14.
Live bands, entertainers, festival food, a chill-out zone and overnight camping option are all on offer.
The line-up is a mix of local up-and-coming acts and tribute performers.
They include Sour Kix, a band made up of siblings Amelie, Ollie and Louis alongside friend Ed and south-west London group the Escapists.
Also on the line-up are tribute bands The Oasis Experience, and award-winning Pop Up Bowie and 80s cover band Bring the Party.
Entry is free, but tickets are limited. Register here.
The event is organised and hosted by A2B Transfers, Feefo and Holiday Extras.
Feefo CCO Matt Eames said: "Following the success of our inaugural Travfest last year, we are really excited to announce its return for 2018 – and even better, it’s free.
"This is a day just for our amazing travel friends and their families to say thank you for all of their continued support and help them to meet like-minded travel people."
