Description

WOOD FESTIVAL 21st - 23rd May

Brazier's Park, Oxfordshire

POWERED 100% by renewable energy

Included in The Sunday Times' Best Things to See and Do in 2010

WOOD is Britain's greenest festival powered completely on renewable energy, harnessing the power of the sun, the wind and even the people who attend the event (through a cycle-powered cinema and disco), there are composting toilets (no portaloos. Whoop!) and a stage made of, you guessed it, WOOD. It was created after the floods of 2007 - and is piloting a new green festival standard in conjunction with Julies Bicycle.

With great music from award winning, mercury nominated and critically lauded band THE UNTHANKS busker punk FRANK TURNER, experimental folks TUNNG, the ever popular Irish troubadour FIONN REGAN, 2008 winner of Radio2 Folk Award MARTIN SIMPSON, friends of the festival DANNY AND THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD and all the way from the USA FRONTIER RUCKUS. Also confirmed are ORA COOGAN, TREVOR MOSS & HANNAH LOU, and DUSTY AND THE DREAMING SPIRES, PEGGY SUE,

But we know you lot like to be active so over the weekend, and withover 50 workshops and taster sessions covering everything from urban gardening, twitching, singing, woodcraft, yoga, the giant knit off, story-telling, and thatching, to making wallets from orange juice cartons, oh, and campfire sing-alongs.

Day tickets have just gone on sale at www.thisistruck.com/about-wood-festival.aspx
