Nobody at Houghton Festival this year travelled to Norfolk without hearing the magical tales from last year. 2017 was Houghton’s debut, the first collaboration between curator Craig Richards and the organisers from Gottwood Festival, which gave it all an element of surprise when it came together so well. Add to that the wall-to-wall sunshine and it’s easy to see why Houghton’s inaugural event has already been memorialised by fans and journalists as a utopian, third-summer-of-love paradise.
