A party in the woods that will last all night has tunes, food and cocktails
Get set for the Wild Wood Disco, a one-night alfresco party taking place deep in the woods near Linton. Taking its inspiration from creativity-oozing boutique festivals like Secret Garden Party and Shambala, this shindig will be bursting with fairy lit magic and glittery fun, from the dazzling art installations to the lasers and lanterns, great music and delectable food and drink offerings.
Serving up a crowd-pleasing blend of disco, house, funk and soul, the Woodland Stage will play host to the legendary Jazzie B from Soul II Soul, as well as a set from the ‘Head Gardener’, aka Secret Garden Party founder Freddie Fellowes. Also getting the crowd grooving will be Bristol outfit Funk from the Trunk, plus Cambridge DJs Miss Chivers, Stuart Banks and Dave Le Reece, who between them will be spinning everything from disco to drum and bass.
When all the dancing makes you thirsty, swing by the Spirited Mare for a cocktail from a horsebox, or pick up top drawer craft beer from the Bewedog Bar. There will be prosecco (literally) on tap and a dedicated G&T bar, not to mention the secret absinthe bar. Staving off rumbling tums in style will be Cambridge’s street food collective foodPark, whose traders will be serving up a smorgasbord of foodie delights. Feast on steamed bao, gourmet burgers and hot churros, amongst plenty more. ‘Trinket cinema’, the Star and Mouse Picture Show will be screening films in the woods too, where you’ll be able to sink into a deckchair and relax, while Viva La Glitterloution will be ramping up the sparkle.
The event takes place on 1 July from 4pm-2am at Horseheath Racecourse and tickets are £25. Limited camping is available for an additional £10 per person.
