Woodland Festival – The Meeting of the Birds!

A family friendly woodland festival for the local community with music and craft activities. A series of music workshops will lead up to this fantastic festival, which is all about ‘the meeting of the birds’.

Wildwood Days is hosting Music for All Brinscall and Treley Burch in collaboration with Horse & Bamboo to create a fantastic musical and artistic experience for local families. The festival will be held at our magical forest school site in Brinscall woods and involve bird themed music workshops, performances, craft activities and marshmallow toasting around the campfire.

The festival is themed around ‘The Meeting of the Birds’ – Explore the sounds, lives, myths and nests of a range of local birds (wren, robin, swallow & heron) through story, music, song and craft. The activities are aimed at 3 to 7 year olds, but are suitable for the whole family to enjoy together. Discover out what these local birds sound like and how they move, playing with musical instruments to make their calls and represent their flight. The music workshops will be held on Sundays in May, leading up to the grand finale ‘meeting of the birds’ on the day of the festival – Sunday 28th May. Please book your places on the workshops separately.

On the day of the festival each bird ‘tribe’ (everyone who has attended that workshop) will perform their song, present their nests and try to show the owl that they are the best bird! There will be lots of themed activities to try, marshmallows to toast and various craft and food stalls to visit.

This event has been crowd-funded through Spacehive and match-funded by Lancahire Culture & Sport Fund. This means we are able to offer an amazing experience for half price. Festival tickets are just £3.50 per person (under 3s are free) and the bird themed workshops are also £3.50 per person. If you have already pledged an amount on Spacehive that is larger than £.3.50 times the number of people you want to bring then please register for free tickets here. We need to keep track of numbers so if you pledged £7 on Spacehive but actually want to bring 5 people please buy 3 extra tickets here and 2 complimentary tickets – hope that makes sense! Thank you! 🙂
