A sunnier outlook for the end of August is finally here and with better forecasts on the horizon, it's creating quite a buzz. This shift in the weather has sparked a last-minute rush for the final 500 tickets to the Gone Wild Festival, leading to a remarkable 500 per cent increase in website visits, according to the organisers.*
Bear Grylls, the festival co-founder, shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming event. "The past six weeks have been nothing but rain, but now we've got something to look forward to. With only 500 tickets left and the sun making its appearance, I'm betting they'll be snapped up in no time," he said.
Gone Wild Festival prides itself on providing unforgettable adventures for the whole family to enjoy together. Held annually at Powderham Castle in Exeter, this event is one of the UK’s fastest-growing family festival.
Oliver Mason, a former Royal Marine officer from Lympstone, and festival co-founder said: "There truly is something for everyone. Where else but can you go axe throwing, paddleboard, learn life-saving survival techniques, cheer on your mum as she conquers a 50-foot mudslide, and then party to fantastic music?"
Adding to the festival's appeal is the much-antipicated lineup which features Bear Grylls, fitness icon Joe Wicks, famously known as The Body Coach, and esteemed astronaut Tim Peake.
Amplifying the excitement further is the selection of live music, with headliners including Feeder, Ministry of Sound Disco, Sugababes, Scouting for Girls, Ella Henderson, Gabrielle, plus many more.
Now in its third year, the festival has firmly established itself as one of the premier family events in the South West.
It's not just about the music and the fun either; it's about rewilding yourself, getting away from the daily grind and embarking on a shared adventure that will leave memories to cherish for a lifetime.
