The Woodland Stage
A fabulous lineup of performances, workshops and acoustic for all the family
sponsored by Taylored Lofts
‘For the past two years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of stage managing the Woodland Stage at Blythe Hill Fields Festival.
‘I moved to the area in 2019 and been immediately thrilled by its music scene, green spaces, AND richness of community activity (especially the conservation centred Friends of Blythe Hill Fields and their projects which include:
wildlife-friendly planting,
the Wildlife Garden, and
a tiny forest.)’
