If you fancy dipping a toe into going to festivals, I'd probably go for something small and aimed at Old People as it means it will almost certainly have nice food, relatively civilized toilets, and you won't be woken up at 4am by your neighbours shouting about badgers/playing gabba on a giant sound system that fills their entire tent/attempting to play the guitar/burning their tent down* (or you might find a nice B&B nearby). This looks like the right kind of malarkey. Discussions! Nature walks!
Avoid anything predominantly attended by young people who are there for the drinking. No good will come of it.
