Style Acre marked its fourth consecutive year at the event, calling the festival its primary fundraising activity for the year.

"It is hard work but so much fun for everyone and such an amazing opportunity for the people we support to be involved in and to experience the festival," said Anne-Marie Hicks, Style Acre fundraising and marketing manager.

Hicks reflected on the weekend's outcomes for the organization's participants.

"A wonderful weekend, that has created lasting memories, and which has raised a significant amount of money that will make a huge difference to lives of the people we support," Hicks said.

Additional charity operators, including Andy Boon of the 24 Hour Tea Tent, raised over $10,000 in 2025 for Ronald McDonald House Oxford to provide housing for families of hospitalized children.

"[Owner Alan Binning] gave me the charity of choice and I picked RMH because it means so much to me and my wife and our family," Boon said.

Boon shared that his family used the housing service when his middle child required infant heart surgery.

"We would have had to travel from our house in Milton to Oxford every day or pay for a bed and breakfast," Boon said.

He recalled the moment his family received accommodation near the hospital facility.

"But then we were handed the keys to a room at RMH with no idea what was going on and all of a sudden, we're a few minutes away from our very sick baby, and able to just contain ourselves and get a grip on it," Boon said.

Boon expressed gratitude for the continued operation of the charity stall at the venue.

"Here we are, 15 years on, still trucking," Boon said.

Traffic enforcement was managed by Thames Valley Police's Roads Policing unit, which impounded four untaxed vehicles, two uninsured vehicles, and cited three drivers for illegal license plates during weekend patrols.

"While thousands of festival-goers enjoyed a fantastic weekend, our officers were out supporting the surrounding communities and keeping the neighbouring villages safe," a police spokesperson said.
