Fancy dress was the name of the game at Wychwood so people flocked to our trading tent to buy funny hats and wedding dresses.

We also told everyone about our Control Arms campaign - some of you attended our campaigning workshops, and over 1,000 of you got all arty on us for the Million Faces petition.

And over 140 of our tango-orange stewards pointed you in the direction of festival highlights such as Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, and our personal favourite, the Silent Disco.

how was it for you?

What makes Wychwood Festival so special - apart from the music, the lush weather, the gorgeous location, and the people - is the workshops.

We ran a session on how to bring about change through campaigning, with a focus on the Control Arms campaign. It went down really well with everyone there and then we went out to collect loads of pictures for the Million Faces petition.

angry about poverty?
how angry are you about poverty?
All summer we were taking photos of festival-goers pulling angry faces - all to show how angry people at festivals are about poverty. We've got a gallery of nearly 700 terrifying faces - the best one as judged by us will win a year's worth of top CDs courtesy of Universal Music.
