Nature lovers, day dreamers and big thinkers are invited to Timber, a festival inspired by the natural world. It will take place July 5-7 and will be located in the heart of the National Forest in Feanedock woods.

The three-day celebration of nature is back for its second year and, if you live within the National Forest, you’re entitled to a 25 per cent discount.
