The family friendly Wood festival which celebrates music and nature organised by the same people who also hold Truck and takes place in the surroundings of Braziers Park, Oxfordshire from Friday 15th until Sunday 17th May 2009.

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 and a solar-powered stage and dancing into the night in a bicycle powered 'disotheque'.

There will be opportunities for everyone (from children to grandparents!) to participate, with workshops covering singing, woodcraft, making wallets from orange juice cartons, and everything in-between. This year the festival is introducing an area for talks and debates, a children's tent and people-powered fairground rides.
