Septembersong

About

Septembersong, taking place this year on 6-8th September at Braziers Park, Oxfordshire. Because who wants the summer to end so soon?

The big idea behind Septembersong is to celebrate song, creativity and connection. The principles behind the Wood Festival remain at the core - connecting with nature, running events in the most sustainable way possible and building community through music and the arts.

Septembersong is about connecting with each other, through song and meditation, through walking and talking, listening and and keeping still. There will be plenty of music, great local food and drink, after-hours dancing, seasonal cocktails and a campfire sing-a-long, in the beautiful surrounds of Braziers Park, Oxfordshire.

After last year's acclaimed live recreation of Neil Young's 'Harvest' LP, this year Robin and Joe Bennett, the musical brothers who host the event, will be putting together an all-star live performance of 'Grievous Angel' by Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris, 50 years after it was first released.

Old Ways Makerspace
The Old Ways Makerspace consists of demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops, talks, and activities to introduce and/or remind us all of time-honoured methods of making, doing and being that work in collaboration with nature and each other. It is about reawakening to the delicate web we inhabit, and understanding that what we do affects everyone and everything. Activities already confirmed for 2024 include willow-weaving, barefoot walks and forest-bathing, sourdough bread making, pottery-making, and 'circling' (authentic relating).

This year sees the introduction of a Junior Makerspace for younger attendees, with children's yoga, singing workshops, boardgames, hapa zome (printing with plants), barefoot walking and more... making Septembersong an event for all the family.
