Food festival

This year rather than contract out to the same food stalls you see at every other festival Truck, are planning a food festival - creating a dedicated space which will host a new range of dishes and flavours created by volunteers and local groups, with the usual stipulation that all food profits must go to charities and good causes. The Rotary burgers and donuts will still be there, but these will be joined by exotic new dishes.

Camping

Camping is expected to once again be available within a stone's throw of the action. No dogs, barbecues (of any kind), campfires, sound-systems (this does not mean a small CD player or radio), or glass.

Getting there

Parking is limited, please use public transport where possible. The nearest train station is Didcot Parkway.

Kingdom Of Jamalot

Offers a bit of a dance party of an evening with Live and DJ sets from: Spaceface, The Gees, Firelodica featuring King Bracket, Positive Vibes, Simple, SRS, Boogie Bros, Nairobi, Heavy Dexters, Sensible Dancehall, King Lloyd aka Sir Sambo, The Dublings, The Fridge and Bungle, Pieman, Rip/Rhymeskeemz, Mr Shaodow, and the Knights of Jamalot. Like last year, Progressively Less Elephant and Nellie B Page will be getting the night-time party started in the Market Stage, and keep an eye out for a UFO…!

Village Fete

Also new this year, Truck will be hosting their own (slightly silly) Village Fete on their Village Green, including the World's Largest Tombola and the Bureau of Silly Sports, as well as rustic farm tours and tractor rides. There will be a Birthday Party on each day for anyone whose birthday it happens to be, Cake Decoration, and prizes for the Best Dressed Trucker, complete with rosettes for the winners!

Family activities will include a fully-stocked Children’s Tent, including music from Nick Cope, and theatrical performances from Oxford Playhouse.
