Tickets go on sale today for Wood 2010

Tickets go on sale from 9am today for Wood, the festival celebrating music and nature, which happens in the surroundings of Braziers Park, in Oxfordshire from Friday 21st until Sunday 23rd May 2010.

Organised by the same people who also hold Truck festival, Wood proved a hit in its first 2 years with those looking for an intimate family festival with great music. Tickets are limited to 800 to keep it intimate and create a community within a weekend.

A weekend tickets is priced £70 for adults which includes camping and all workshops. There is also a junior ticket for ages 13-17 priced priced £50, children aged 12 and can go along for free!

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'.

This year Wood will be piloting the Industry Green standard to measure its carbon footprint and other impacts in tandem with the charity Julie's Bicycle.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2010. Expect a strong and diverse line-up of (mainly) acoustic acts on two stages which will soon be announced.

The festival offers opportunities for everyone (from children to grandparents!) to participate, with workshops covering everything from singing, woodcraft, yoga, knitting, story-telling, and thatching, to making wallets from orange juice cartons, campfire sing-alongs, a kids tent and fancy dress parade.

There are also plenty of opportunities to learn more about living a more sustainable lifestyle as well as joining in the lively lunchtime discussions and talks. 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.

Here is a short eFestivals film about 2009's Wood festival.
