Wood runs entirely on renewable energy and aims to highlight green issues and hopefully promote an ecologically friendly lifestyle, with things like composting toilets, showers heated by wood-burning stove, a people powered fairground, and a solar-powered stage and dancing into the night in a bicycle powered 'discotheque'.

There will be opportunities for everyone (from children to grandparents!) to participate, with workshops covering felt making, a knitting circle, crochet workshop, printmaking, harmony singing, circus skills, salsa, drama for kids and adults, Tai Chi, poetry writing and a poetry slam, musical munchkins, making musical instruments from junk, song-writing, thatching, African drumming & dancing, and much more.

This year the festival is introducing an area for talks and debates, a children's tent and people-powered fairground rides. Plus local organic food and drink a plenty, campfire sing-alongs, and more.

More information will be here when available.
