Jazz Under the Stars or Techno in the Tropics

Make 2026 your summer of festivals with Ask William. For culture lovers in Oxfordshire and beyond, festival season isn't just a highlight, it's a heartbeat. What if your next festival trip felt less like logistics and more like luxury? That's the promise behind Ask William, a bespoke concierge service gaining quiet traction amongst those in the know.

It may be that you prefer your opera with vineyard views, and jazz beneath the stars or perhaps a headline set without the hassle. From the Cotswolds to Cannes, Ask William has it covered.

Classical music at Glyndebourne or poetry readings in Provence, Ask William makes festival-going feel personal and effortless. Their team curates itineraries that go beyond ticketing: boutique accommodation, timed transfers, dinner reservations - and best of all, backstage access. The result?

Cultural moments that feel tailor-made. Ask William has earned a loyal following thanks to their knack for uncovering hidden gems like Berlin's intimate Musikfest, or literary salons in Hay-on-Wye before they hit mainstream travel lists.

Looking ahead to 2026, Ask William is already securing access to major music festivals across the UK, Europe, and now Asia. From Reading & Leeds and Primavera Sound, to Tomorrowland Thailand, the service ensures clients enjoy the thrill of live music with the comfort of curated travel.

Asia's festival scene is booming, and Ask William is ready to guide you through. How about the Wonderfruit Festival in Pattaya, known for its eco-conscious ethos and immersive art installations, or the 808 Festival in Bangkok, where electronic beats meet tropical nights? The team handles every detail. For EDM lovers, EDC Thailand in Phuket and the debut of Tomorrowland Asia in Chonburi promise world-class production values and unforgettable performances.

Perhaps something more offbeat? Equation Festival in Vietnam offers a serene mountain setting with underground sounds, and Playtime Festival in Mongolia blends indie music with nomadic culture.

For busy families, solo adventurers, or couples plotting a milestone escape, Ask William offers low-touch, high-style support which feels refreshingly offline. You're not navigating portals or dashboards. You're speaking with a real person who listens to what you want — not just where you want to go. It's perfect for those who cherish well-planned spontaneity: less planning, more living.

Ask William's brilliance lies in the timing. Want to visit Italy when opera echoes through vineyard hillsides? Or catch harvest festivals in Alsace before the tour buses arrive? The team will help you time your trip for maximum magic.

And it's not just classical or boutique events: clients are booking weekend escapes around headline festivals with genre-spanning lineups across the UK and beyond, from indie folk fusion to high-energy EDM. Every musical palate is catered for.

Whether you're planning a bucket list trip, surprising someone with a show-stopping weekend, or escaping for a long-overdue celebration, Ask William. Ask William isn't a travel agent. It's part festival fixer, part lifestyle confidante.

From jazz under the stars, pop in the park, or techno in the tropics, it's the elegant answer. Just Ask William - your cultural concierge.
