Timber Festival was an incredible weekend festival of celebration, debate and reflection in the National Forest, produced by Wild Rumpus CIC. While 2024 was the final year of the festival, the seeds sown at Timber are growing into new projects and opportunities through the vibrant ecosystem of artists, creators, and organisations that made it the wondrous project it was.

The Land Skills Fair is a beautiful celebration of our movement; a coming-together of our diverse voices and an opportunity to keep proliferating connections in our networks. All of this bound together in the spirit of celebration, joy and communion with the land, and to the sounds of incredible music and in the presence of soul-enriching art.

Grounded in radical politics and practicality, there is space to share skills we’ve learned on the land as well as ways-of-being that we’ve learned from it.

There will be workshops and skill-shares covering farming, forestry, craft, natural building and activism. Alongside this will be spaces open for those discussions around how we build a more equitable society together.

This outdoor festival celebrates woodlands and traditional woodland crafts. Visitors will be able to see the likes of green woodworkers, henna art, archery, listen to tree stories and even meet the Wild Man of The Woods. Whether you love local crafts, are a woodland wanderer or want an enjoyable family day out, this is the experience you’re looking for.

The Organic Growers Gathering is organised by growers for growers. From small-scale fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower growers to land workers, crafters, and purveyors of folk music. Whether you’re a master of the soil or a new entrant gaining experience seeding your ideas, there is something here for everyone.

We gather to network, skill share, build community, discover, and learn from one another, whilst strengthening our mycelium-like ecological land-based and farming networks for a more resilient, ethical, and organic food system. Expect lots of practical sessions, workshops, and breakout spaces, as well as organic vegan food, live music, and rejuvenating well-being spaces.

The gathering is hosted at the Hardwick Estate in South Oxfordshire by many of the projects that share this land, including Court Hill, Path Hill Outdoors, Path Hill Farm, and Tolhurst Organic CIC, which is one of the longest-running organic farms in the UK, renowned for pioneering ethical, stock-free organic standards.
