A memory of Wychwood Festival by Helen Davis

Meeting Justin Fletcher, AKA Mr Tumble in 2016. My niece and nephew arrived on site too late to see him on stage so I asked the Festival Organiser if we could meet him back stage to which they kindly said yes. The experience for my daughter, niece and nephew was worth so many more memories than just being in the audience. It was a great story for their friends and he was such a lovely guy. This was only our second time at the Festival and we have now been every year it's been on since.

2024. I remember thinking “this place is just amazing”. It was my first Wychwood Festival so the awesome sunsets, that always feature, were new to me. I asked my wife to hold up her pint for a photo that summed up my mood. VERY HAPPY!!!!!

I got to watch my boyfriend and best friends play in their band Truck to a tent full of happy festival goers and it was such a proud moment! We hope we get to do it again next year as boy do they deserve it as a local Cheltenham band who put in so much work to play whenever and wherever they can. We had such an amazing day supporting them and watching as they took photos with new fans and got the fair few compliments around the festival village! We loved wychwood and we can’t wait to be back next time… Sincerely a very proud girlfriend x

So many special memories here! Best days spent with friends and family. My best friend Laura used to sell her baby boutique clothes at Wychwood 'Rock and Rose' here at her stall. Unfortunately she is no longer here but I have very special memories of Whychwood with her and partying when the stall closed. We enjoyed all different music and silent disco. My favourite band we danced to was Thrill Collins. Well they still are to be honest. Our memories live on Looby Loo ❤️
