Wychwood 2011 Review
What was the weather like?
Mixed rain and sun. Campsite very flat so no problems with flooding!
How old were your children?
4, 5 & 7
Getting to the Wychwood 2011 and setting up camp:
We were there early but friends of ours had to queue for ages to get in – there seemed to be some confusion from the staff as to which route the cars should take – also the family camping wasn’t particularly well sign-posted so people were finding it hard to find the right area to camp in.

Wychwood – through a festival trader’s eyes
By Zoe (mum and festival trader)
Taking your kid to a festival can be a brilliant experience for all, although there can be a few ups and downs.
Last year we took the experience a stage further, and took our 5 year old daughter to Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham – where we were to also be traders for the weekend.
We tried to prepare for any eventuality, weather etc. We asked her to pick some toys and things to keep her amused. Van and car loaded to the gunnels with stock, bedding, food and toys, we were ready to go.
Cutting to the chase, we drove down on a lovely sunny day, which got steadily warmer, and by the time we arrived, the sun was beating down, so we had to get the stall up quick to give us some shade. We were situated in a brilliant position, right next to the main stage. What we didnt think about were the drawbacks to our pitch.
