If there\u2019s any better form of escapism than getting weird in a field for a whole weekend with your dearest and dearest, I\u2019m yet to find it. It seems you guys agree wholeheartedly. In our recent Instagram poll we learnt that 51% of you will be attending the world\u2019s biggest and most-renowned festivals this year. Glastonbury<\/a>, Tomorrowland<\/a>, Ultra<\/a>, Sziget<\/a> and Reading and Leeds<\/a> were your top choices.<\/p>\n

However, 61% of festivals named in the poll were smaller, lesser-known parties. If you like the sound of fewer people, better food and less of a queue for the port-a-loos, here are our top 10 intimate festivals on the backpacker trail.<\/p>\n

\"intimate<\/p>\n

1. Flash Festival – Tuscany, Italy – 16th-18th May 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How does music, food and wine under the Tuscan sun sound? If you like your festivals idyllic, we\u2019ve just found you a winner. Flash Festival<\/a> takes place in Castiglion Fiorentino, between Florence and Rome, and is as quintessentially Tuscan as can be; surrounded by olive groves, cypress trees and renaissance towns. By day, sample farm to table delights made by local food vendors, and regional wines selected by Tuscany\u2019s finest sommeliers. You can take yoga classes, go for bike rides through vineyards, lounge by the pool, or try your hand at pasta making under the eagle eye of real Italian grandmothers who know their stuff. When the sun goes down, the DJ\u2019s come out, providing a soundtrack of electronic rhythms, disco beats and soulful grooves.<\/p>\n

2. Valley Fest<\/strong> \u2013 Somerset, UK – 2nd-4th August 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When a festival dubs itself \u2018the best tasting music festival in the South West\u2019 you know you\u2019re in for titillation of more than just your ear drums. Valley Fest<\/a> is a celebration of all the tasty grub and booze that comes out of this corner of the UK, plus it\u2019s an excuse to dance, learn and lounge around a lake. For one of the intimate festivals, Valley Fest has certainly pulled in the big names. Basement Jaxx, Razorlight and Tom Odell are all headlining. Head to The Tuck Inn for foodie magic prepared by local chefs, or the Yoga Shala for tai chi, disco stretch warm-ups, reiki and more. All classes are free.<\/p>\n

3. A Festival called Panama<\/strong> \u2013 Tasmania, Australia – 8th-10th March 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you like to keep your celebrations sustainable, A Festival Called Panama<\/a> is speaking your language. This cashless, litter-free affair has been described as the \u2018unicorn of festivals\u2019, and is set in Tasmania\u2019s Lone Star Valley within a 50-acre forest, beside a cider brewery (yes please). This year’s event saw DJs, spoken word, late-night cabaret and pop-up markets, plus a fair share of critically-acclaimed acts, including Methyl Ethel, Snail Mail and Shannon & The Clams. Sorry guys, but you’ve just missed out on Panama this year – get it in the diary for 2020!<\/p>\n

4. Meadows in the Mountain Festival \u2013 Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria – 6th-9th June 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While 66% of you revealed you\u2019ll be staying in hostels when you attend your festival of choice, how does camping in the woods on top of a mountain sound? Meadows in the Mountains<\/a> takes place in June in Bulgaria\u2019s beautiful Rhodope Mountains. In addition to partying above the clouds, banging DJ sets and theatre performances, well-being is at the core of the festival. You can enjoy several yoga classes per day \u2013 all with spectacular views, plus a whole host of workshops on topics like Ayurveda, tarot and plant-medicine.<\/p>\n

Located in the countryside north of Berlin, Sacred Ground<\/a> is another festival with a conscience. This free-spirited party is all about respect and love for nature, and celebrating community. Sacred Ground is curated by musicians Frank Wiedemann and Ry X, and is a homage to life\u2019s true pleasures; art, nature and food.

6. Kala Festival \u2013 Dhermi Beach, Albania – 12th-19th\u00a0June 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve not checked out the secluded beaches and clear waters of the Albanian Riviera yet, Kala Festival<\/a> could be the perfect opportunity. Expect friendly folk, stages under the stars, and picture-perfect beach huts close to the shore. During the day, you can explore the delights of Dh\u00ebrmi on foot with a guided hike, or a day trip to explore the hidden coves and beaches that dot the coastline. You can also get active with a spot of snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, or a spin on a pedalo. Enjoy a massage on the beach, or sunset yoga followed by a gong bath overlooking the Ionian Sea. Come night time, dance with your toes in the sand to the likes of Derrick May, Inner City and Hercules & The Love Affair.<\/p>\n

All food is taken care of by local chefs and pop-up street food vendors, serving Brazilian delicacies and South American classics. Spend your days wakeboarding, canoeing, exploring the jungle or learning about indigenous traditions, and your nights dancing away to a diverse line-up of international music. You can buy a five or ten day pass, and all food, accommodation and water is included \u2013 just be quick off the mark to secure your golden ticket.<\/p>\n

8. Obonjan Festival – Northern Dalmatia, Croatia – 30th June-2nd September 2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The tiny island, located 6km off the Croatian coast, opens for the whole summer season, and there is a full timetable of activities to enjoy each and every day. Live music and DJs, talks and workshops, yoga and meditation \u2013 all this in desert island surroundings that will knock your socks off. If you\u2019re in need of some serious R & R this summer, Obonjan has got your back.
