Explained simply
Wilderness is an annual festival in the Cotswolds that features music, theatre, comedy and talks. The Audi Haven is a dedicated space within the festival that offers a separate, curated experience with its own entertainment programme distinct from the main festival.
The Haven combines live music performances with comedy, talks and fine dining. The programming explores specific themes, and for 2026 the focus is on the power of sound, with performances running from 30 July to 2 August.
The dedicated Haven space appeals to festival-goers seeking a more focused experience within the larger festival. By pairing entertainment with cultural conversation and hospitality, it attracts established performers and figures from arts, entertainment and other fields.
