Wychwood Postponed until 2022
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
Dear Wychwood Family,
It is with great sadness that we have to announce today that we will once again have to postpone The Wychwood Festival for another year until 2022. Our new dates will be -.
While many of our festival friends had already taken this hard decision based on where their dates aligned with the government’s opening up plans, we had been much more hopeful of being able to go ahead. This was because we have been in serious discussions for some months now with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) about being a pilot event, which would have given us some security and a framework within which to give you as safe an event as possible.
Sadly, they are now unable to provide assurances that would work with our timescales to run Wychwood this year. Also, our industry has been calling on the Government to provide us with protection via a Government-backed insurance scheme, which hasn’t materialised. Without this, for our security and your safety it is simply not possible to try and go ahead this year.
Thank you so much for all your support. We are just doing this for you and can’t wait until we can all enjoy Wychwood together again. In the meantime we hope, if you are able to, that you can hold your tickets over to next year.
We plan to do something on what would have been our weekend this year, virtually – more information on this as soon as we can. We’ll also keep you updated on which artists from the current line up will be joining us in 2022, and a whole host of new and exciting entertainment too.
With much love,
The Wychwood Festival Team
