The basics
Chill out and actually learn something from this clever, cool gem of a festival that takes its literature, food, music and art seriously.
The festival
Taking the crown for possibly the coolest UK festival this summer, Wilderness aims to find a balance between nature and culture and the emphasis is on experiences not just music.
Think open air banquets, croquet parties, a lakeside spa complete with wooden hot tubs, lake swimming and saunas. Relax with facials, free meditation, try your hand at horse riding or get a lesson in foraging for food.
This is much more than just cracking into the booze at breakfast kind of festival - expect debates from Huffington Post, Intelligence Squared, theatre from Shakespeare’s Globe, meals from chefs like Angela Hartnett and pop up restaurants from some of the coolest boutique brands out there.
Tipis, tents and wooden suites are all available if you want to upgrade your sleeping arrangements to match the rest of this rather sumptuous festival.
Our tip
If you want to take part in one of the experiences book early, places are limited.
