Away from the music the festival welcomes back Letters Live to headline the Talks and Debates program. The formula of A-list speakers reading the finest correspondence ever written has included Benedict Cumberbatch, Ben Kingsley and Olivia Colman to name a few.

Food lovers are well catered for with chefs hosting this year's prestigious long table banquets including the world-renowned Yossi ‘Papi’ Elad from The Palomar which in 2015 was named as The Observer Food Monthly Restaurant of The Year.

Returning to Wilderness and heading up the banquet tent is James Knappett who will be leaving the intimate environment of his 2 Michelin star, 20 seater ‘Kitchen Table’ in London to produce a banquet for the Wilderness masses.

The Thursday night family banquet will bring together two Wilderness regulars, Josh Katz (Berber & Q) and Woodfired Canteen from Cornwall.
