The Forestry Commission has been running musical events since 2003 in stunning forest settings, originally under the name of Forest Tours and now Forest Live.
A variety of acts are chosen each year for these events taking place each summer in forest locations around the country. Woodland clearings are temporarily transformed into a concert arena creating a safe and relaxed atmosphere for gig-goers.
