WOOD festival 2010



Wood is Britain's Greenest festival - The 3rd annual WOOD festival will take place on May 21st /22nd/ 23rd 2010 at Braziers Park, Oxford. As well as celebrating great music it also celebrates nature.

The event runs entirely on renewable energy and aims to highlight green issues and through participation promote an ecologically friendly lifestyle, with composting toilets, showers heated by wood-burning stove and a solar-powered stage. You can even spend your time dancing into the night in a bicycle powered 'disotheque'.

There will be opportunities for everyone (from children to grandparents!) to participate. With workshops including singing, woodcraft, yoga to making wallets from orange juice cartons, and a fashion dress parade – with plenty of opportunities to learn more and join in our lively lunchtime discussions and talks.

Expect a strong and diverse line-up of (mainly) acoustic acts on 2 stages. Last year saw BRAKES, DODGY (acoustic), KARINE POLWART, SPIERS & BODEN, THE WEEK THAT WAS MEIC STEVENS, PO' GIRL, JIM MORAY and STORNOWAY grace our wooden stages.
