In a unique partnership this year, Wychwood Festival is teaming up with Ecotricity. The world's first green energy company celebrates 20 years this year and now supplies over 150,000 people across the UK with energy sourced from its wind and sun parks. Ecotricity will be the official sponsor of Wychwood's Big Top stage and will also be hosting an interactive on-site forum revolving around four key green issues; energy, food, transport and nature.

Speaking about the move, Wychwood organiser Graeme Merifield said: "We're ecstatic to be working with Ecotricity this year. It's the perfect partnership given our shared values and belief in making the country greener"
Dale Vince, Ecotricity founder, said: “We’re looking forward to festival season and to summer – it’s great to get outdoors, do a bit of camping, meet lots of people and talk about the things that matter – and, of course, enjoy the music. Wychwood has a great reputation, not just locally but across the country, and it will be fantastic for us to be there for the first time.”
