Lost Village festival review: is this posher than Wilderness?
Wilderness in the Cotswolds boasts a nanny service. You won’t be surprised to hear that it is the only music festival in the country to offer such luxury.

The Lost Village festival in Lincolnshire prides itself on offering a more luxurious experience compared to the Wilderness festival in the Cotswolds. While Wilderness boasts a nanny service, Lost Village does not provide such luxury but compensates with a wide variety of banquet feasts and mindfulness experiences. Attendees can expect to spend a significant amount on the event, with an average spend of over £1,000 per person, particularly for those staying in the posh yurt accommodation.
The festival's location in central Lincoln makes it accessible to both northern and southern festival-goers, creating a diverse crowd in terms of accents. Lost Village focuses on dance music and attracts a party crowd, which may not fit as seamlessly as Wilderness's nostalgic 1990s rock bands and current pop stars. The festival's unique setting includes 'lost' planes, jeeps, and motorbikes scattered throughout the forest, creating a dystopian landscape.
A day at Lost Village begins with a gourmet banquet, featuring dishes like grilled pork neck, watermelon, and pickled mooli salad, followed by a chilled red wine. Throughout the night, attendees can enjoy various other culinary delights, such as panna cotta, Aperol Spritz, and hot tubs overlooking a beautiful lake. The experience is both refined and immersive, suggesting that wealth can manifest in unexpected places.
