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'.

It's the 'Year Of The Red Kite' at Wood this year, their animal of focus, they have a special animal every year – they join the previously-honoured bees and badgers. Red kites, medium-sized scavenging birds of prey, were reintroduced to the Chilterns area and can now regularly be seen soaring above the festival site.

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.
