The James Wood Festival returns in 2026, transforming the ancient woodlands of Sherwood Forest into a vibrant tapestry of sound and spirit from June 19th to 21st. This year, immerse yourself in a curated blend of indie rock, folk, and electronic music, echoing through the historic trees. Beyond the main stages, discover intimate acoustic sessions tucked away in natural clearings, offering rare moments of musical connection. The festival prides itself on its commitment to sustainability, with eco-friendly initiatives woven into every aspect, from locally sourced food vendors to zero-waste programs. Explore artisanal crafts, participate in creative workshops, or simply unwind in the mindful meadows designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. As dusk settles, breathtaking light installations illuminate the forest, creating a truly magical atmosphere that dances to the rhythm of the music. James Wood Festival is more than an event; it's an escape into a world where music, nature, and community intertwine, fostering unforgettable memories under the open sky. Join us for a weekend of discovery, celebration, and the enduring magic of live performance.
