FESTIVALS BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH 2023

Reconnect with the beauty of nature while enjoying three days immersed in science, creativity, literature, and well-being activities. With a fantastic lineup of traditional, indie, and modern folk music performances to provide the soundtrack for your journey back to yourself at Between The Trees Festival 2023 on August 25-27!

Andrew Thomas and Dawn Wood, two educators with a vision, created Between the Trees in 2014. As they observed people living more connected to their screens than nature—including themselves—the duo sought out an answer to this dilemma. By incorporating original indie folk music, art, and spoken word into one naturalistic festival atmosphere, Between The Trees provides its visitors with an exceptional opportunity to re-engage with the environment around them while promoting creative thought too!

Step out of the ordinary and back into nature with the Between the Trees Festival. Not only will you be able to bask in live music for three days straight, but you will also take a mindful journey through the 100-acre forest site guided by experts who will help you reconnect with nature and enjoy an immersive experience known as "forest bathing." As you traverse the grandiose festival grounds, there is always something sensational to discover. Amidst this bustle of activity lies an area made for rejuvenation: the Pagoda Well-being Space offers a tranquil atmosphere outside the main section's hubbub. This luscious glade provides visitors with an ideal backdrop for rest and meditation in order to restore, relax, and revive. Come explore yourself between the trees!

Additionally, step into a world of creatives and let your imagination run wild. Thanks to Literature Wales and Seren Book Publishers, the Between the Trees Festival's Seren Barn is proud to offer its guests an eclectic collection of authors, speakers, and poets whose work has been heavily influenced by the surrounding nature. Additionally, the committee has curated a unique lineup that features indie, contemporary, and traditional folk music with everything from acoustic solos to full bands! Come experience this inspiring coastal landscape like never before!
