The best fantasy festival I have ever known. X

What a truly magical place. You really do “Dream with your eyes open” at Fantasy Forest. 2021 was my families first time and we will certainly be returning and that is mainly due to the purple shirts. We packed up on the Sunday to leave and my car decided we where in fact not going anywhere. PURPLE SHIRTS TO THE RESCUE. They put us in a bell tent that had been vacated as our tent was collapsed and my children where asleep in the car, they then made sure we had everything we needed from a battery packs for our phones, water and Guy the fixer also gave me his hoodie off his back as I was getting cold. My 4 children where safe and sound thanks to the help we received, we where even invited to breakfast with the purple shirts 💜. I can’t wait to return next year and make even more memories. Thank you for everything you do and for letting us release our crazy and quirkiness.

An Amazing first time at the Forest Festival. Enjoyed the complete day with the chance to photograph some amazing costumes, listening to some lovely music, talks, and stories. Already setting the date aside for next years one.

I had an extremely pleasant time at Fantasy Forest. So much to do and loads of stalls! Only thing missing was an ice-cream van (unless I missed it!). Plenty of good options for cider and beer at the bar, which was a great addition to the festival! Music was a good variety and very enjoyable too, plus I was amazed at how many people dressed up! Covid restrictions were brilliant too, enough for everyone to have freedom but to also be safe!
I’d like to give the staff a huge thankyou too! Especially to the two girls, Elise & Harriet aswell as Stefan. After losing something and being in a bit of a state due to it, the staff were amazing & incredibly thorough at helping me finding it. Unfortunately I was halfway home by the time it was found, but I gave my number and communication so I can get it back has been incredible! One of the only festivals I can say that the staff were awesome!! I can’t thankyou all enough for the amazing work you’ve all done so the event can take place and so that us festival-goers can have a brilliant time!!
See you all next year!

Great 1st Fantasy Forest festival. A well balanced mix of Fantasy ( obviously as said on the tin ) , Steampunk , Scifi , Medieval , Goth , Mermaids etc etc & Fun !!! ? . Set in & around the gardens & grounds in the grandest setting of Sudley Castle by Winchcombe in the Cotswolds , WOW ! There were plenty of good bands on split between a couple of stages , many interesting & varied traders to chat to & buy from . Little whinging now, I Would have liked a better bar serving Real ale but you can’t have everything on the 1st festival outing. I do think there should have been more Vegetarian & vegan options on offer though.
Moans aside we really enjoyed Fantasy Forest & all the friendly people including the traders & bands we met . Even the weather was good !
Will definitely be going back again ? .
