People of Woodford Delight in Dressing Up
I love a good festival. I attended my first Woodford in 2013/14 in a bit of awe about the 6 day length and sheer volume of activities on offer. The vibes were great, the people even greater and I was ready for a whole bunch of fun. It wasn't until my friends and I bumped into a large group of people getting dressed in white cloaks with red adornments, getting ready … [Read more...] about People of Woodford Delight in Dressing Up

People of Woodford use The Lettering House for mischief and magic
We are three friends who came to the festival this year. As we were writing letters [in The Lettering House] to our parents we came up with a legendary idea.

People of Woodford Remember Their Favourite Lineups Forever
This is probably my eighth Woodford. My Woodfords have certainly changed from my late teens and early 20s, from a real party time Woodford to now being more chilled and about settling in and community, family, healing and wellness.

It became a Christmas tradition to open our presents by torch light after waiting in the queue all day and setting up our campsite. It's my home away from home.
