Wilderness Festival Review: 9 Things to Expect

This Wilderness Festival Review will introduce you to everything you need to know about this cool, boutique festival in Oxford. Trust me, it’s not like other festivals…

I spent the weekend at Wilderness Festival, a festival in Oxford that I’ve wanted to go to for a long, long time. From the outside it looks crazy – all costumes, strange goings on and more than ‘just’ a music festival. From the inside it was the same. Bonkers.

I went with two friends, Mel and Kellie, and we camped for the three nights. There were some lows, admittedly, but more highs. Once I got my head round the fact that it’s not one of those festivals where people start drinking as soon as they wake up and carry on until dawn, I enjoyed it.

‘It’s not that kind of festival’ – became our motto.
