We've been invited to review and I couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity. My young boys, just like their siblings, can create a day's worth of amazing pure fun given only a bit of woodland and some freedom to explore and imagine. It should be a weekend off for everyone...
Unlike other festivals, Timber is about music and art, but also philosophy and sustainability. It will be carbon neutral and powered by 100% renewable energy. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about their environment as well as play in it, joining discussions and workshops with thinkers and scientists.
Creators of the Just So Festival among other events, Wild Rumpus are great at bringing together all of the senses. Timber will include live music stages, campfires, light and fire installations and lantern processions, crafts and workshops, and our favourite, storytelling.
There'll be den-building, aerobatic displays, the world premiere of Seek, Find, Speak at the outdoor theatre, a masked ball, tree-climbing and a 7 metre recreation of the moon. It sounds epic and I really am very excited.
We'll be covering the festival on social media, as well as writing a review when we get home, but it sounds like the sort of festival I'd arrange for myself - we just need to book in a little dry weather!
Timber takes place at Feanedock, DE12 6DQ, from the 6th - 8th of July 2018
Tickets for Timber Festival are now available at £130 /£45 for a weekend ticket, £40 /£15 for day visitors, under 3's free. Numbers are kept low at 6000 total visitors, which means a more enjoyable and calm experience for all and no time wasted queuing. People who live within the National Forest get an additional 10% off their ticket price.
Find out more and book tickets on the Timber Festival website, and keep up to date with new line-up announcements on the Timber Festival Facebook page...
