Wychwood Festival
Cheltenham Racecourse
30 May to 1 June 2008

"Wychwood is like a bijou Glastonbury, the perfect way to ease into the festival season"
- The Independent

To celebrate the approach of one of the first festivals on our 'must see' list for 2008, we've got a pair of tickets to give away to the Wychwood Festival. You'll have to put in some effort for them though; we're asking for video footage showing us why you are the world's best festival goer. Enter here.

In the meantime, check out what's in store at the festival when it hits Cheltenham Racecourse from 30 May to 1 June 2008. Punters can expect the best of local upcoming and unsigned talent and top northern talent - without Cheltenham's normal occupants; the horses. If you believe the word on the turf, Wychwood Festival is best of the boutique festivals. Music, dance, arts, comedy and workshops keep the oldies and the nippers entertained. Did we mention the performers?
