Wilderness Festival - thank you to Charlbury

Cornbury Park would like to extend a huge thank you to their neighbours in Charlbury who supported the very first Wilderness Festival this weekend. They hope all enjoyed the music, banqueting, lake swimming, boating, dancing, talks and debates, cricket, theatricals, woodland walks, spas, yoga, fly fishing and star gazing. And for those who didn't come along, they hope it didn't inconvenience you too much and thank you for your tolerance!

Charlbury and Finstock Primary Schools along with Charlbury Pre School did an amazing job keeping up with the unprecedented demand for their scrumptious tea and cakes and the delicious pig roast - and hopefully raised a lot of money in the process!

Among the first year hiccups was the pedestrian signage and Cornbury are grateful for the feedback about this - they have taken it on board and it'll be improved next year.

Cornbury Park welcomed 10,000 people to this new festival. A write up in today's Daily Telegraph says 'Wilderness was fabulous in every sense'. You can read the full article here: www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-festivals/8702003/Wilderness-festival-a-romp-in-the-woods.html.
