Additional info

Returning in 2010 will be the Roald Dahl Museum and Storytelling Centre with more Roald Dahl stories and fun making. The first of next year's first Children's Lit Fest confirmations is the Ian Whybrow, author of the 'Harry & The Dinosaurs' series of books. This year, the best part of a million copies of Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs will be distributed free to children starting school across the country through the Booktime programme.

The festival has also announced that they will be welcoming the English National Ballet to their workshops programme in 2010. Expect inspiring dance activities for budding ballerinas of all ages and abilities based around their 2010 repertoire including Swan Lake and Cinderella - more details to follow in the coming months.

The festival is expected to continue with the same camping set up as 2009, whereby you will be able to drive up to your camping pitch, and unload your camping gear right by where you are setting up. The campsite is flat, and always in great condition. Then emptied cars must be driven off the campsite and to the car park. After the festival, you'll be able to drive back to your pitch to load up.

Wychwood has established itself as being one of the best family festivals in the UK, and prides itself on its eclectic mix of Indie, pop, world and folk music programming combined with comedy (sponsored by eFestivals.co.uk), solar powered cinema, loads of workshops, seminars and creative activities for all ages, all on a compact site at Cheltenham Racecourse, with idyllic camping under the Prestbury Hills. Expect also the return in 2010 of the popular headphone disco.
