Oxmoor Farm Wild Feasts  


 

 

 

 

 

## The Big Feastival 

### Oxfordshire 

  

 

Blur bassist and cheesemonger Alex James’s annual festival is arguably one of the best at getting the balance between food and music just right. Chefs in attendance will include Raymand Blanc, Andi and Miquita Oliver, Jack Stein, Max La Manna and Poppy O’Toole, while Becky Hill, Snow Patrol, Johnny Marr, Circa Waves, Ella Henderson, Scouting For Girls and more take to the main stage. Families should be sure to check out [Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park](https://cotswoldfarmpark.co.uk/), featuring horses, cattle and goats, and luxury lodging.

*Kingham, Oxfordshire; 23rd-25th August*

## Yoxman 

### Suffolk 

  

 

Yoxman doesn’t have any events going on this summer, but the next one coming up is at the start of October and promises to sell out quickly. Yoxman at Wilderness Reserve promises an unforgettable dining experience. This year, three top chefs – Gareth Ward, Yannick Alléno, Rafael Cagali – have 20 Michelin stars between them and will be serving up a menu of exceptional food (all with a wild and local emphasis). Tickets give you access to a full weekend of events, kicking off with a champagne reception followed by a gala dinner, and opportunities to mingle with the chefs throughout the weekend. Expect Michelin-level dining at every meal and plenty of opportunities to unwind in the Wilderness Bamford spa.

*Wilderness Reserve, Suffolk; 4th-7th October*
