CNSP is a big family! The dedicated team that puts all this together have been friends for 20 years - some of us for longer. Our kids have grown up together in festivals, and today they are the main driving force of the event. Most of them have known each other all their lives and we hope the real warmth and friendship and our crazed obsession with building great parties shines through.
From the moment you arrive you’ll be looked after - our team of festival baggage handlers will meet you and help you take your baggage to your camping spot and there’s always a team of volunteers around and about the site if you have any problems.

There’s lots for kids to do. Big Top Mania is a dedicated kids space with shows specially for children, a great collection of games, toys and circus equipment for children of all ages to try out and a toddler space.
A team of enthusiastic sports nuts will once again be organising games every day - including football, cricket rounders and the wonderfully silly CNSP Olympics. It all culminates in “The Mushroom Cup” five-a-side football tournament on Sunday afternoon. We also have a Treasure Hunt for children of all ages, even grandparents and, though mainly for adults, CNSP’s famous and possibly the only pub quiz on the festival circuit, with amazing kitsch prizes, and great respect to the winners.

There’s a great selection of workshops for grown ups and kids, highlights include Lantern Making - with the chance to join in the lantern parade on Sunday evening, Rap Workshops with Jimmy Davis and Luke Concannon (of Nizlopi) and Dance Classes and a chance to show off at the vintage Tea Dance on Saturday afternoon. Other workshops for all ages include seed bombs, singing, didgeridoo, tai chi, clay and raku pottery, woodland crafts and yoga.
