I attended UK’s most luxurious festival and here are all the celebrities I spotted
miss any celebrities during my time at the lake, but I do run into an old friend who mentions seeing Claudia Winkleman, Joel Dommett, and his wife Hannah Cooper at the festival. As we head to the showers, we catch the tail end of Jamie Laing’s live show, ‘In Great Company’, with no sign of his pregnant wife, Sophie.

After freshening up, we head to the Riddle stage, the heart of the festival’s dance sets, located in the estate’s walled garden. Phone cameras are covered with stickers urging us to live in the moment as we join the dancing crowd inside. At the nearby Audi Haven, Denise Van Outen is hyping up the crowd with a glittery Discoliscious set, following a performance by Professor Green.

Dinner beckons, and we are invited to an Audi-hosted feast at Audi Kitchen by Chef Monica Galetti. The menu promises a blend of Samoan, New Zealand, and Michelin-starred flavors. Sam Claflin and Matt Smith join us fresh off of engaging conversations hosted by Tina Daheley. The two actors enjoy a friendly banter as they devour a menu featuring stone bass okra crudo, butter-poached chicken, and hokey-pokey chocolate pudding.

With empty plates, we move on to the Valley, the iconic late-night hub of Wilderness happenings. Lit dimly, the faces around us are obscured. The ultimate celebrity sightings? Unfortunately, the darkness played spoiler, leaving me uncertain of any sightings.
