The basics
Fun and games in the Devonshire countryside.
The festival
Summer salt? Summer salt? Mmmmmm, salty. No, silly brains, Somersault, a wonderful little festival in Devonshire. Proffering (like offering but posher) a brilliant line up of rock and folk music, Somersault has plenty of fun to offer, with a wellness centre, falconry, paddleboarding, slacklining (don't know what it is but it looks cool) and much much more. A great festival for families and music lovers, it promises to be a barnstorming weekend of good clean fun. And we'll be there partying our little backsides off.
Our tip
Don't just check out the music. Somersault is as much about activities as it is about rhythms and grooves.

Getting there
How do I get there?
Somersault is roughly 200 miles out of central London, nestled amongst Devonshire countryside and just minutes from the spectacular coast line. It's only nine miles outside of Barnstaple though, so by car, bus or train, they're still easy to find.
By car: You can find the festival at The Castle Hill Estate , Filleigh, Barnstaple, Devon, England, EX32 0RH. Leave the A361 (North Devon Link Road) at the South Molton Roundabout (Aller Cross Roundabout), take the first exit onto the B3226. Turn off at the second right turning to Castle Hill Gardens. Once you’ve passed by Stags Head, look out for the big yellow mansion on your right. You’re there.
Or from the A303, take the 4th exit at the roundabout onto A358. Look out for the Exeter/Wellington junction. At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto the M5 to Exeter/Wellington. At junction 27, take the A361 exit to Tiverton/Barnstaple.
Or get the M5 to Junction 27 onto the A361. Then follow the directions above.
