A Unique Musical Experience in Nature

Forest Live is a series of summer concerts popular with artists and audiences that takes place every year in some of the most beautiful woodland areas in the country. It is organized by Forestry England and represents a unique collaboration of live music and nature, offering something special to both artists and audiences outdoors.

Since its inception in 2001, Forest Live has welcomed a diverse range of stars, from Paul Weller to Keane and Stereophonics. The concerts will be held at Thetford Forest, Sherwood Pines, and Westonbirt Arboretum among other forest venues and have been annually drawing in thousands of visitors.

The proceeds of any event are merely reinvested into the maintenance and care of these forests for the future. Forest Live is a laid-back, family-friendly setting that appeals to quite a peculiar blend of the most ardent music fan and the more easygoing nature-filled festival customer.
