Two actresses who starred in Game of Thrones and Star Wars wowed crowds at an Oxfordshire music festival.

Daisy Ridey played the lead role of Rey in three blockbuster Star Wars films between 2015 and 2019 while Sophie Turner starred as Sansa Stark in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.

The two English actresses were part of the festival hosted at Cornbury Park near Charlbury alongside This Morning star Josie Gibson, Steps member Faye Tozer and comedian Rosie Jones.

With its inaugural event in 2011, the festival takes place over the 5,000 acres of the park and features live music, wood-fired hot tubs and a selection of food and drinks.

The festival was inspired by the eccentricities of British culture and the enchanting allure of an English country estate according to IHG Hotels and Resorts.

Connor Smith, vice president for IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Wilderness is a highlight of the UK summer social calendar, and we are bringing IHG’s exceptional hospitality to the festival for the second time.
