Timber Festival

Timber festival returns to the National Forest from 7-9 July 2023.

Step into an incredible weekend festival of celebration, debate and reflection in the National Forest. Timber invites you to stand up and be counted as we rethink our relationship with trees and forests.

Gather with artists, musicians and writers, as they respond and react to the forest in bold and exhilarating ways.

Activists and makers will invite you to join them in a joyous celebration of nature. The rebels and the unexpected from the worlds of music, art, performance and wellbeing will play, provoke and inspire as we change the world.

With a talks programme including Raynor Winn and Simon Armitage, alongside a wellness offering of woodland saunas, as well as workshops, theatre, and woodland craft - come and immerse yourself in a weekend that will inspire the mind and restore the body.

As the sun goes down, expect to be energised and fired up by headliners The Go! Team as you dance under the stars to their fusion sounds and archaic beats.

UNPLUG AND RECHARGE AMONG THE TREES – IT’S GOOD FOR THE SOUL!
