Festival No. 6 is like a surprise party thrown by Willy Wonka, Jarvis Cocker and Lady Rainicorn. Imagine the planning meetings...

Just visiting Portmeirion would be magical enough - a wonderfully out-of-place Tuscan style town in North Wales (yep). Not to mention the line-up out of a BBC Radio 6 DJ’s wet dreams, the Michelin quality food and 70 acre woods stuffed with secret performances.

What else would you expect from a festival named after a cult sci-fi show from the sixties...

The line-up’s legit. There’s everything from Hurts to Hot Chip to Viv Albertine to an experimental orchestra playing Northern Soul. Music goes on till 3am and ranges from classical to downright filth.

But a lot of the real magic of Festival No. 6 happens where you least expect it. Take a walk through the 70-acre Gwyllt woods to try and find the Lost in the Woods stage, the Dugout, and a floating stage on a Chinese Lake. Yep, everything here’s lovely.

There’s a carnival with feathers and glitter, a lantern parade, stand-up from Tim Key, talks from the likes of novelist Eimear McBride and spontaneous theatre (aka the best kind).

Festival No. 6 has a rep for being more camembert than ketamine. You might think that’s a diss, but just wait till you taste this camembert.

As well the bestest street food stalls, there’s gourmet food, champagne and oyster bars and banquets by Michelin-starred chefs. This year’s highlight is Holborn Dining Rooms’ Calum Franklin - pay the extra £69, it’ll be worth every penny.

There’s hip-hop karaoke, wood-fired hot tubs on the estuary, swimming by the castle and treatments at the Mermaid Spa

You can camp (included in the ticket price), book a hotel in Portmeirion or stay in a VIP bell tent with actual beds.

Festival tickets cost £180 for the weekend. Either drive to Portmeirion or get the train to Bangor and then book a shuttle bus to the festival and back.
