Ethos

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'.

2014 will be Wood's 'Year Of The Badger'. The festival focuses on a different indigenous wild animal each year. Badgers are getting a particularly hard time at the moment with the government trying to shoot them all because of they haven't researched the spread of TB properly. Wood will be highlighting their plight at the festival as well as all things wonderful about badgers and their very important role in the countryside.

Workshops

The festival offers opportunities for everyone (from children to grandparents!) to participate, with workshops covering everything from singing, woodcraft, yoga, knitting, story-telling, Make a Record Player from a Cardboard Box, Harmony Singing, a Junk Samba Session, campfire sing-alongs, a kids tent and fancy dress parade.

Wood even has its own organic café serving locally-sourced food and it's own pub, The Hippy Arms selling locally-produced lager, ale and cider.
