The Staxtonbury Family Music Festival, commonly abbreviated to Staxtonbury, is a local British music festival, best known for its break through local music acts.
The festival has run since 2009, and has been very successful, not just with local people but a wider audience.
The size and nature of the festival, held over three or four days in the open air, with performers, crew and paying festival goers staying in tents, caravans and motorhomes, has meant that the weather is significant. It is now attended by around 5,000 people, getting more popular every year.
