It's
that time again when May morning has passed and thoughts turn to summer
days and nights... First, thanks to everyone who came out for our
CONVOY weekend, there were some great performances to whet our
appetites for TRUCK festival. Many of those who appeared - including
Calories, Grammatics, Pulled Apart By Horses, The Joy Formidable, The
Xcerts, Dusty & The Dreaming Spires and Ute - will be back at Hill
Farm in July. There are still tickets left for TRUCK, though they are selling fast- don't leave it too late to get yours.
First up though, and in just over a week's time we'll be circling the wagons at Braziers Park for WOOD!
There's a fantastic music line-up including Brakes, Dodgy, Karine
Polwart, Spiers & Boden, Po' Girl, The Week That Was and Meic
Stevens, workshops on everything from felt-making to composting, talks
on Oak trees and earth economics, solar-powered fairground rides, a
busy kids' tent, the radical midwives, the wood café, the Hippy Arms
selling fine beverages... we could go on. It's a great way to welcome
in the summer.
For those that really can't stand to camp, or can only make one day,
we are putting day tickets on sale now, priced £18 for Friday and £23
for Saturday or Sunday. Click here to buy yours. They will be more expensive on the gate so it's worth buying yours in advance.
Weekend tickets are still available, priced £55, online and in local stores. Enjoy both TRUCK and WOOD by purchasing a Supertrucker ticket for £110, saving a tenner in the process.
If you don't like pitching a tent, and do like living like a
Mongolian nomad, why not hire a yurt for WOOD, provided by the folks at
www.yurtevents.co.uk. These can be booked via the ticket page on Wegottickets.
That's all for now, we're off to plant a living roof on top of the WOOD stage...
