Tickets now on sale for Wood Festival
Included in The Sunday Times’ The best things to see and do in 2010
WOOD comes for the creators of TRUCK – and could be considered it's folkier, cleaner and greener younger brother. It's a celebration of music and nature in the beautiful surroundings of Braziers Park, Oxfordshire. Taking Place on 21st -23rd May.
The TRUCKERS have grown up a lot since starting TRUCK 12 years ago, having created WOOD festival as a place to take their own young families. WOOD has proved a hit in its first 2 years with those looking for an intimate family festival with great music.
Tickets have been limited to 800 to keep it intimate and create a community within a weekend.
WOOD is quite possibly Britain's greenest festival: it's 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!) and a stage made of, you guessed it, WOOD. We hope that the way this festival is run will set a standard and encourage other festivals to follow suit with greener production values.
This year WOOD will be piloting the Industry Green standard to measure its carbon footprint and other impacts in tandem with the charity Julie's Bicycle.
As ever there is a strong and diverse line-up of (mainly) acoustic acts on 2 stages which will soon be announced.
Weekend Tickets cost £70 for adults– which includes camping and all workshops.
There's a junior ticket for ages 13-17 priced priced £50, children 12 & under can come along for free! Don't forget you can also get a supertrucker ticket – giving you access to both WOOD and it's bigger brother TRUCK. TRUCK tickets go on sale 13th February.
