Wild on the Wall festival takes place in Walton near Brampton on July 26th–28th, and it’s looking to be one of the best to date and it’s THIS WEEK!
Organised by Dan and the team at the Source Collective, the family festival has become an annual event that draws people from across the county and afar. Being a family festival, there are many activities, workshops, entertainment, and more to keep the kids entertained throughout the weekend.
The beauty of Wild on the Wall is that it’s a true-to-the-ground grassroots festival that takes you back to the heart of what a festival should be—filled with joy, laughter, good music, and good craic, it’s simply wonderful!
This year, the Emporium from Carlisle will be attending and will bring a range of workshops for both adults and children, including messy play activities!
An exciting new addition to this year’s event is Prowild Survival. ProWild Survival is a collection of outdoor enthusiasts who have put together their skills and qualifications to create fun and safe survival experiences for everyone, no matter their age or capability. This year they will join us at Wild on the Wall and will be offering a woodland respite space where festival goers can come down, relax by the fire, or join in with some of the workshops they will be holding where they will teach a range of outdoor skills.
Emma from the Enchanted Tea Cup returns this year bringing some zen to the festival, she said: “My name is Emma and I have the pleasure of spending my 4th year at Wild on the Wall Family Festival. She rents a small unit from the lovely Dan Russell at Atlas Works Building. Here you will find Reiki, Meditation, Workshops, Tarot & Tea Leaf Readings, Sound Baths & Cake.”
As well as everything in place for the small humans, there are many fantastic bands and artists to keep you on your feet the whole weekend. With a myriad of genres, styles, and sounds, the line-up is a smorgasbord of brilliance. From reggae to funk to heavier rock, it’s the perfect compilation of artists.
With acts such as Colt-45, The Shambolics, Funke and the Two Tone Baby, and lots more, it’s set to be a weekend of fantastic music!
You can rest assured that you won’t go thirsty with a fully stocked bar with some fantastic beers, spirits wines, and various soft drinks. There’s plenty to keep you fueled up throughout the weekend, with various food vendors. Tipsy Tapas will be on hand, offering up the likes of Patatas Bravas, Spicy Meatballs, Chicken Wings, Spicy Chicken Pasta Bowls, Sangria Cups, Vegan Pepper Peppered Pasta, Gluten-Free Meatballs and Garlic Mushrooms, and some vegetarian dishes as well.
If you’re looking for something to really tickle your taste buds, then you can count on Hillbillys Noodle Bar, who will be serving up Chinese-style noodles with a choice of toppings: stir-fry and vegetables, chicken curry, chicken and black bean (GF), and sweet and sour chicken (GF). (All of which can be made vegan by eliminating the meat and adding more veggies and sides!) There will also be gluten-free rice with stir-fry vegetables.
For those of you who relish in the glory and simplicity of a good burger when at a festival, then Jim’s Burger Van will have you covered. With all the classic festival essentials, such as burgers and hot dogs, as well as a selection of breakfast options, including vegetarian options too, you’ll be well-fueled for a full day of dancing.
As well as great food, you can be assured of a decent coffee in the morning from Splitscreen Coffee, who will be there to supply you with that all-important caffeine fix as well as iced coffees, teas, traybakes, and more!
Poppy Rowan, one of the team behind WOTW said: “We have a great mix of traders to date, and we aim to ensure that there is a wide variety to suit all tastes and dietary requirements during the weekend.”
The whole family is welcome, from tiny tots to spritely seniors and even your four-legged doggie family members are welcome—well-behaved pooches, of course.
There are still tickets available, whether it’s for the weekend or just the day, come along and join in the fun!
