Where: Cornbury Estate, Oxfordshire
When: 10th - 12th August 2012
How much: £99.50 - £139
Wilderness Festival returns this year to the divine Oxfordshire's Cornbury Park. Organised and curated by the cats behind Secret Garden Party and the Mama Group festivals, the event combines music, food, learning, literature and rejuvination.
Set among the lakes and forests of Cornbury, Wilderness is a weekend of freedom, inspiration, dancing and fine dining. Performances, fireside banquets and theatrical spectaculars will set the standard for the new festival.
The people behind one of the world's oldest and best known theatres - The Old Vic - bring their spin-off to Wilderness - The Old Vic Tunnels. The Tax Deductable Theatre Company are also putting on a range of shows. There will also be a huge line-up of talks and debates, with Intelligence Squared bringing politicians, artists, writers and scientists to debate the topics they feel most passionate about.
Food-wise you really are spoilt for choice. In addition to the communal banqueting, Yotam Ottolenghi, Fergus Henderson and Valentine Warner are among the chefs involved. There is also the Wilderness Spa offering hot tubs, saunas and massages.
