OXFORDSHIRE’S idyllic countryside has been turned into a massive music venue for the country’s “biggest small festival”.
Truck Festival began yesterday afternoon at Hill Farm near Steventon in South Oxfordshire.
The festival has grown massively since its humble beginnings as a charity fundraiser for Amnesty International and Helen and Douglas House and now attracts high-profile acts such as The Charlatans.
Tonight British techno-duo Basement Jaxx will be headlining.
The festival now boasts eight stages and 150 acts will play over the course of the two-day event, which finishes tonight.
This year there were 6,000 tickets on sale, but organiser Ralph Broadbent hopes that in the next couple of years attendance will exceed 10,000.
