The basics
Part summer fayre, part off the wall music festival, the Cotswolds' Cornbury is basically a big summer party with added beats.
The festival
The Cornbury lineup is one of the most eclectic you'll find on these shores. In 2014 Jools Holland headlined, with Melanie C and Marc Almond as special guests, and they shared the bill with a host of acts including the Feeling, Arrested Development, Simple Minds and X Factor winner Sam Bailey. Away from the main action you'll find campfire singalongs, an area just for kids and comedy from the likes of Al Murray.
You can stay in luxury yurts and pods and be woken by church bells in the morning – Cornbury is a festival you can take the whole family to.
Our tip
Beg, borrow or steal a guitar to strum along to the campfire sessions. Better there than outside your tent, where – we're sorry to break it to you – absolutely no one wants to hear you belt out your best Ed Sheeran.
