Part 3: Reading - Read the text, then match the headings to each paragraph.AOne of England’s best kept secrets, the Larmer Tree music and arts festival takes place every year in July. Traditionally it starts with a concert on the Wednesday and runs through until late on the Sunday night.BGetting to and from the venue without a car is a little challenging. The nearest train station is several kilometres away and the local bus stops about 5 kilometres from the entrance to the grounds so unless you want to walk, I would recommend sharing a taxi.CSet in deepest Dorset, south-west England, the Larmer Tree gardens were created in the nineteenth century as a place for workers to enjoy fresh air. Today the gardens are used as a venue for weddings and for the annual festival. With secret lakes and beautiful lawns, it really is a magical space.DAlthough you can buy day tickets, most people choose to stay for the whole time. There are excellent camping facilities for those with tents or camper vans and there is 24-hour security so you can safely leave your possessions while you go off and enjoy the party.EAlthough July is theoretically summer, the English climate is notoriously unpredictable so while there will be some sun at some point, there is also every chance of rain! Take sun cream and sun hats for lazy afternoons sunbathing on the grass − and waterproof coats, boots and umbrellas just in case there’s a thunderstorm.FWith over 70 artists appearing on different stages, there’s something to suit every taste. Whether you’re interested in African rhythms or traditional folk, blues or reggae, I guarantee it won’t be long before you’re on your feet and dancing.GThe festival is truly a great experience for the whole family, young and old. Festival goers come from all over the country to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Even if you turn up alone, you won’t be alone for long.HThere are 150 free workshops with plenty for the children to do. There is a theme every year and on the Sunday afternoon, there is a carnival procession for parents and children to show what they have created over the previous three days.IBut Larmer isn’t only about music. You also have the chance to enjoy a little retail therapy. With stalls selling anything from jewellery to musical instruments, clothes to paintings, there is something for everyone. And if you run out of cash, you’ll be able to use your credit card so there’s no excuse!JIf you camp, you will probably bring most of your own food but the festival experience wouldn’t be complete without a big bowl of curry or a traditional English sausage. Everything is fresh and tasty and you’ll have the chance to try food you’ve never come across before.KSo, if you’re looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings, what better place than the Larmer Tree? You’ll leave the stresses of your normal life behind and enter a magical world.
