Wychwood Festival 2024 Review

After experiencing an amazing Wychwood 2023 we as a family decided to return and 2024 was just as good if not better. The weather was once again kind to us and after being greeted by upbeat, happy volunteers and stewards we settled in quickly on site. 

Wychwood had 3 stages, a healing garden, a huge children’s area and a few traditional fairground rides. There were a small number of ethical branded, vintage clothing & crafts stalls plus a wide variety of food and drink vendors. This festival can boast at having everything you need from a festival but all located in a perfectly compact area. 

This really is a great family friendly festival. It’s ideal for first time festival goers or families who just want to visit for a day. It’s compact but contains everything a large festival has to offer.

Lala Fest 2024 Review

If there was an award for the most hands-on festival organiser, it should go to juggler, comedian and LaLa fest chief, Dan the Hat. Over the weekend I found him tending bar, performing, and even cleaning the toilets.

This is only LaLa’s second year and Dan’s aim is to keep it small and affordable. Tickets were available for a suggested donation of £60 for adults and £25 for kids over 10. Younger children were free. The sell-out crowd numbered only around 300.
