There's more festivals to go in the UK than ever, but increasingly it seems it costs an arm and a leg to purchase a ticket for one.

If you're feeling the pinch at the moment, look a little further than Glastonbury, Bestival and Reading & Leeds - there are some great, smaller festivals out there - with appearances from big artists - that you DON'T need to apply for a loan for to buy a ticket.

Here are 7 great festivals, taking place all over the UK, all for under £100 a ticket (and yes, some of them are whole weekends). Having an amazing time and listening to brilliant music needn't cost the earth.
