Wychwood Festival aims to build on the success of its first three years, and returns on Friday 30th May to Sunday 1st June for 2008.

The very family-friendly Wychwood aims to be intimate and inclusive for audience and musician alike, blending world, roots and contemporary music, and encouraging new collaborations, with an ethical bent to its theme, fundraising for Oxfam. There's also comedy, workshops, and more.

Headliners on Friday night is The Proclaimers, Saturday is The Divine Comedy, and Sunday is Simon Emmerson’s folk collaboration The Imagined Village. Other confirmations are Dreadzone, Robyn Hitchcock and Friends, Spiers and Boden, Kissmet, Duffy, Emma Pollock, Rachel Unthank & The Winterset, Kate Rusby, The Blockheads, Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls, 3 Daft Monkeys, Misty’s Big Adventure, Palladium, Piney Gir & The Country Roadshow, and Oxford band The Epstein.
