Win a Family Ticket to Wychwood Festival, Cheltenham 2-4th June
This summer is all about festivals for us. As a family we are heading to Wychwood for the first time and you can join us. Well you don’t actually have to be with us, you are free to do your own thing, especially as we may not know each other! Wychwood takes place at the stunning Cheltenham Racecourse. Instead of horses the course will be full of fun for all the family. I am really looking forward to taking Erin and experiencing all that will be on offer in the sunshine. What’s more you can join us at the festival as we have a family weekend ticket too give away. With each ticket costing £140 this prize is worth £360.
The family line up has recently been announced and I know the Levellers headlining on the Sunday will be a huge hit.
