Truck takes place at Steventon, near Abingdon, Oxfordshire and is a blend of village fete and Woodstock, free of any sponsorship or corporate agenda. It's about music, community and being outdoors. Founded by Robin and Joe Bennett on a farm within a welly wang from their family home, it now attracts over 5,000 revellers.
