Septembersong music magic in Braziers Park 

DATE

September 1, 2025

The team behind award-winning Wood Festival invite you to enjoy the third Septembersong on the equinox weekend, 19th-21st September in Braziers Park, Ipsden 

Septembersong offers a final burst of music and creativity before autumn. Set in the stunning grounds of Braziers Park, it combines top-class performances with workshops, crafts, and space to unwind. 

Headliners include Steve Knightley, the West Country songwriter and former Show of Hands frontman, performing tracks from his latest album The Winter Yards; Hayden Thorpe (formerly of Wild Beasts) presenting Ness, his collaboration with poet Robert Macfarlane; and acclaimed Bristol artist Rachael Dadd, fresh from appearances at Glastonbury and Green Man. 

Also starring are Merseyside hero Ian Prowse, Robin Bennett (The Dreaming Spires) and Danny George Wilson plus violinist Ellie Wilson debuting Moth x Human, a musical response to biodiversity data from local scientists. Beyond the music, festival-goers can enjoy the Old Ways Makerspace, harmony singing workshops, yoga and meditation sessions, and a Junior Makerspace for younger visitors. Expect storytelling from artists, a pedal-powered silent disco, and campfire singing after dark. 

Braziers Park itself is a hidden gem – a working community, residential college, and architectural treasure in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Weekend tickets, including camping, are £109 for adults, with day tickets also available. Please visit woodhq.org/septembersong
