The 10 best and most beautiful boutique festivals in the UK
The festivals that are about much more than bands
Wilderness: Set in Oxfordshire's exquisite Cornbury Estate, Wilderness is fast gaining a reputation for being one of the most stunning festivals in the UK. With the likes of London Grammar and Metronomy performing, as well as a vast banquet of cultural attractions and late night adventures, there's something for everyone here.
The sun is shining, festival season is well underway, and we all wish we were outside with a cool beer and enjoying some fine music - ideally in the most beautiful corners of the UK. As the years go by and generations pass, it seems more and more people are frequently becoming disenchanted with the festival giants, and more up for something a little bit more scenic and interesting.
While the big events re indisputedly amazing, and will inevitably sell out every year, sometimes it just feels a little too impersonal. The crowds are too big, the journey's too stressful, and when it comes to catching the headliner, you're roughly 50 miles away from the front of the stage.
Enter the new wave of boutique festivals. With tons of more attractions, unique events and more of a "community spirit", you're promised a very special time indeed at one of these smaller festivals. Here are the 10 best and most beautiful boutique festivals in the UK. See you there!
