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.
