Wychwood is a festival not only of music, but crammed full of other things to see and do, from comedy (sponsored by eFestivals) to cinema, and from workshops to the healing gardens. They already have a number of special things lined up for 2010.

Wychwood Festival aims to build on the success of the first five years, and returns on Friday 4th to Sunday 6th June in 2010, it's very family-friendly, intimate and inclusive for audience and musician alike. The music programme blends world, roots and contemporary music, and encourages new collaborations.
