Patti Smith and the Lemonheads play at first Latitude Festival

Another summer, another new festival. Last week, Suffolk's sunrise coast played host to the first Latitude Festival, which promised to be entirely different from your run-of-the-mill weekender, with tents dedicated to literature, comedy, cabaret and theatre, as well as music. As locations go, Henham Park is one of the most stunning on the festival circuit. Candy-coloured sheep grazed by a shimmering lake (yes, really), surrounded by pine forests. A mixed crowd of hip young things and families enjoyed a low-key and rather upmarket weekender - it was the only festival I've been to that offers waiter service.
