THE WILDWOOD DISCO A true gem of the local festival scene, the Wild Wood Disco offers a mini Secret Garden Party- style experience, complete with woodland dance floor and plenty of glittery, smiling faces. Running 17-19 June, this year’s bill features Erol Alkan, Dan Shake, Jayda G and DJ Format on the stages, with everything from yoga to fortune telling to discover in the woods. Plus, a new Two Tribes Campfire psychedelic discotheque promises forest feasts and irresistible beats.

Those lucky enough to bag a spot can look forward to the usual weekend of creativity and debauchery in the Cambridgeshire countryside, with electrifying art installations, a genre-spanning line-up of musical acts and plenty more fun and silliness to explore.
