Rumours that it has been substituted by a mud wrestling competition.

Just a question regarding this show. I have horses out at night right next door so I’ll leave them in tonight if this goes ahead as planned. Would anyone know the likelihood of this in the rain? Do you think there’s a chance it’ll be postponed until tomorrow?

With todays weather watching it from home might be the best way that is as long as it's not cancelled :-)

Thanks, Tim, I will be unable to get there, so I will be looking out for the drones.

But tickets are still available to locals. Not very obvious on the forum, there was this post from Emma Kirkby of the Wilderness Team on 3 August, under the heading of "Entrance to Wilderness by foot":

Just giving a heads up to Charlbury folk regarding Saturday night at Wilderness as its an aerial display and there may be a chance to see it from the town if you look out your windows and across towards Cornbury as I imagine with 500 drones they will be fairly high up in the sky 

Details below

The Wilderness Spectacle

Sat 5th 22:50 - 23:00

Our Spectacle this year will be created by SKYMAGIC, the world’s leading drone light show studio who were the team behind May’s fabulous Coronation celebrations. They will design and perform a 500-strong drone light show in sketches across the night sky, reflecting the event’s wild spirit. SKYMAGIC are working with an award-winning team of creatives, technologists and storytellers to create their Spectacle show at Wilderness. As ever, the date that the Spectacle will take place will remain a secret so keep an eye on the sky whilst you're at the event!
