When it comes to festivals, smaller ones prove that less is often more. Set in fields in the Oxfordshire countryside, Field Maneuvers humbly bills itself as a ‘dirty little rave’ – and does what it says on the tin. Seven hundred people gathered for the 2017 edition – and from the excited hugs as people arrived, it was clear that many were returning from previous years. With only four tents of music and a maximum of 200 metres, everything is stumbling distance. You really can’t lose your friends, even if you try; and you can certainly make new ones.
