Mad Hatter’s Wonderland Festival

Not too far from Bordeaux, Glyn & Charlotte Chubb with their two sons decided to move to France 11 years ago. This was after finding a perfect location for their home at the Le Logis, Le Breuillac in Caunay. 

It wasn’t long before they saw a need in the area for a country style restaurant serving homemade food, the restaurant was popular they started having live music evenings which proved to be a hit, especially when they were held in the gardens on summer evenings.

Realising that there was very little in the way of music festivals in this area they held their first one 8 years ago, and this is where they are today, bringing to France some big international bands. The festival has no sponsors and is self funded from ticket sales.

The whole family pitch in to organise the event and would love to see you there!

The Festival:

If you can imagine driving through the French country side in the middle of summer and
stumbling across what looks like a huge family party in the middle of nowhere, then
that’s our festival. People of all ages gather together to relax, enjoy, listen, party, dance,
eat & drink with family and friends. The music styles are varied, we host rock, indie,
reggae, ska, electro-swing and acoustic artists, from local acts and young performers
during the day to some amazing professional acts travelling from all over France, UK,
Belgium, Germany, there’s something for everyone. Previous years have seen Slade,
Eddie & the Hot Rods, Electro Swing Circus, Nick Harper, Will and the People, Ultimate
Eagles etc. come to play for us.

This year Mystery Jets, the Bootleg Beatles and Dr. Feelgood are heading the line up,
supported by 14 other acts.

2018 celebrates our 8th year of Mad Hatter’s Wonderland Festival !

A charming country party in the South-West of France (Poitou-Charentes, Deux Sevres).
This is a small independent music festival providing an opportunity for locals and all
those music fans from far and wide to enjoy fantastic professional musicians of many
genres in a laid-back familiar setting.

The Wonderland Festival is a family-run music
festival where people of all ages come together to enjoy a weekend of music. The stages
are situated within a walled garden along with the great food & drink, real ale & cider and
with any luck – some beautiful French sunshine !

Circus acts and children’s entertainers add to the scene along with brightly coloured trade stalls tempting you with their wares.

Camping is available for those booking weekend tickets, there is also the possibility to
bring your camper van, alternatively you can book one of our nomad bell tents for you
and your friends to stay in.

The festival kicks off at 12pm on Friday afternoon (August 10th) and will wind down on
Sunday evening (August 12th) this is a unique festival with little else quite like it – though
ticket sales are capped to keep it chilled out so book soon to avoid disappointment.

We hope to welcome you to our festival this August !
