Don’t worry about wellies and toilet queues … but you might want to brush up on your yoga at Britain’s most middle class festival.
Lucky attendees at this year’s Wilderness Festival only needed their best table manners and swimsuits for the four-day event at Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire.
Staged near Charlbury, this year’s eclectic schedule boasted ‘feasting seats and picnics’, art classes, a lakeside spa, sauna, wellbeing classes, alongside both paddleboarding and aerial yoga.
Meanwhile, a sumptuous so-called ‘long- table banquet’ was hosted by Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith, 85, featuring a menu including whipped goat’s cheese with roasted pickled tomatoes, as well as hot honey and toasted seed and apricot tart tatin with honey and thyme ice cream.
While organisers encouraged guests to ‘find their wild’, the middle-class mood appeared to be rather more tame and sedate – with television presenter Denise Van Outen, 51, and model Daisy Lowe, 36, among this year’s attendees.
The event, where adult camping tickets reportedly went for around £290, was presented by luxury car brand Audi, and promised a ‘weekend of boundless escapism, daring adventures, and pure joy’.
