Been to Bearded Theory about 7 times out of the 10 its been done. Its cracking, even has a large kids area, and has a fully-registerred school for the Friday so it doesn't count as absence!
Not sure I can be arsed this year though, got too much on already.
When they came on stage they said they were going to be on their best behaviour for the kids in the crowd

I don't care how "kid friendly" a festival is. They shouldn't pander like this.
Unless its a specific kids festival, like Deer Shed, in which case the acts booked should already be appropriate.

Difference between family and kids festivals though.
Family fests cater for all - doesn't mean everything there will be suitable for all.
So, by your definition, Camp Bestival is a kids festival then. It's basically targetting the same audience as Deer Shed (festival goers who now have children). As an aside, when I went to Deer Shed (with two mates, no children), I had a whale of a time once I learned how best to avoid the weird, small running creatures that never go in straight lines. Also, John Grant swore, quite a lot...

I'm giving this one a plug because my band is on the bill. Not sure if it's any good mind!

You know how I always bang on about Bearded Theory festival? Well, we were there the other week, and it was very good as usual.
efestivals have just said this, which is quite incredible really:
This festival is better than Glastonbury. It’s got all the good things – top bands, diversity of acts and experiences, social responsibility, availability of everything you need, beautiful countryside; and none of the bad things, like vast distances between stages, hordes of posh kids, knee-deep rubbish, overcrowding, mud. Bearded Theory festival is better than Glastonbury festival – there’s no higher compliment.
an almost-perfect Bearded Theory

Bingley Music Live is a good little festival. Not far from Bradford/Leeds. The festival is in a park but the camping is off site around the town. We camped in the local rugby club which was canny as they had the clubhouse and showers open.
Only thing is it’s usually the start of September so the weather can be a bit hit and miss.

Was it?
Can't say I noticed. If you're going to it for the line up, you're missing the entire point of the festival quite frankly.
The music is just a small part of the best festival experience there is in the UK.
