Cornbury Festival
Charlbury, Oxfordshire
5-6 July

Billed as an eclectic and eccentric music carnival, Cornbury believes in home comforts - there are beach huts and converted double decker buses to sleep in and VIPs get their own swimming pool, tennis courts and champagne bar.

Gourmet Mexican food and organic vegetarian cuisine are among the foods available, and along with the music, entertainment is offered with children's workshops, street entertainers, a fairground, drumming workshops, and you can even book a flight in a hot-air balloon (weather permitting). It even promises clean loos. Headliners include Paul Simon, Toots and the Maytals, Crowded House and 10CC.
Tickets cost £90 for the weekend (camping an extra £20), under 16s £55 (with £20 extra for camping), and under fives are free. Day tickets are also available costing from £55 for adults, £27.50 for under 16s
