Wilderness Festival 2023: An enchanting celebration of arts and intellect

Enfold in an untamed experience during the first week of August where art, music, food and nature become one. Wilderness Festival 2023 is a four-day event that takes place in the 5,000 acre Cornbury Park of Oxfordshire, England. Although music is part of the program, the festival focuses on an outdoor adventure that delves into peaceful vibes and diverse arts.

Your experience at the Wilderness Festival

Enjoy classes in yoga and dance, or take a swing at your inner cartoonist with several art studios to work from. Culinary creations center the all-in-one event where craft eats and cooking courses populate workshop tents. Feel like expressing yourself vocally? Choose from over a dozen forum and debate discussion sessions that cover a variety of topics from self-growth to current events.

Indulge in extraordinary food and drinks while celebrating the arts across a scenic backdrop that masterfully disconnects individuals from reality. Join in on a friendly game of cricket before finding yourself in the lake amidst a skinny-dipping session by nightfall.

Wilderness Festival is an event that represents intellectual learning within a minimalistic environment. Although outdoor events are known for their long lines and unkempt campsites, the Wilderness Festival provides attendees with clean bathrooms, showers and spas for a relaxing and recharged experience.
