THE organisers of the Wilderness Festival are inviting Charlbury residents to have their say about issues over the event before they apply for a licence for this year’s festival.

They will hold an open evening at the Bell Hotel’s Cornbury Room from 6pm on Monday, January 13, to hear views and answer questions.

Anyone who cannot attend the evening event will be able to speak to festival representatives at The Bell from 3pm the same day.

This year’s Wilderness Festival will take place at Cornbury Park from August 7 to 10. For more details, see wildernessfestival.com
