This has been one life affirming, fun packed festival. A rather wonderful thing indeed
You can go to festivals all over the world but none will be quite as homely as Wychwood
A secret pleasure for those who know their festivals. Highly recommended
Wychwood is like a bijou Glastonbury, the perfect way to ease into the festival season
Wychwood boasts picturesque location and family-friendly menu and has shown smart foresight with their bookings
Wychwood has many other activities for kids such as fun stalls of art and crafts, to food and even a big slide!… It is a great family festival, and you can bring a tent or a campervan/caravan. I would definitely recommend Wychwood.
Highly regarded, family-friendly, mini Glastonbury
Clearly it’s not just an art to put on a festival this good, it’s pure Wych-craft!
The sheer range of styles, genres, ages and influences packed onto Wychwood’s three days leaves many bigger, mainstream indie-rock festivals looking decidedly pale and insular
We all thought the standard of musical acts, family entertainment and friendliness at the Wychwood festival were excellent there was always something going on for all the family to enjoy! A great weekend was had by all. Highly recommended. 5/5
Wychwood is very clever at providing a full itinerary that completely entertains the entire family‐2012 saw a really quirky, inspirational itinerary of free workshops and activities for the mini festival fairies that will be very hard to rival next year
Wychwood has built up a reputation as one of the most family friendly events on the festival circuit. This year proved no different.

I loved playing at the festival, a very chilled event with loads of lovely people
We had one of the best audiences of the tour at the Wychwood Festival. Very nice and happy people. We could feel a kind of “Woodstock way of life” in their minds. And that is great!
Wychwood is such a great place to play, we had a really receptive audience and would love to come back in the future
My favourite festival for a while – somehow the spirit was there!
…a very special addition to the summer calendar and an inspiration, an indication of where others could go if they had the imagination to follow

Audience:

Thanks again for a fantastic festival. Fantastic weather, fantastic music, just fantastic!
Gradually the festival is establishing it’s name as one of the best festivals in the UK! and I feel very happy to be in it!
It was our first festival, and all of us, aged 50, 47, 16, 14, 11 and 4 (her birthday was on the Saturday!) couldn’t believe how much fun it was!
We came along yesterday, for the first time… and absolutely loved Wychwood. We have three children 6, 8 and 9 and they had a ball.
To all the organisers of a great festival – Have spent a day at all three festivals now and reckon you get better every year!
I had the great pleasure of coming to Wychwood for the first time with my family this weekend, and I wanted to write in and say well done for a most superbly organised festival!
It was our second Wychwood, and we enjoyed it immensely. We saw loads of new and unexpected (and crazy) bands… Great atmosphere, food, beer, workshops, people and music.
Wow!!!! My first ever festival and what a brilliant way to pop my cherry. We came with our two pre-school kids who loved it and if they are happy, then so are we.
