The paintbrush: this year’s festival must-have accessory?

Each year it seems that more and more festivals are vying to grab the remains of our student loans by tempting us with impressive line-ups and extra entertainment.

Musical entertainment will still feature but it takes a backseat to allow the weird and wonderful world of body art to take centre stage.
