FOD FRINGE 25

FOD Fringe 25 was a vibrant month of events and performances which happened across the enchanting Forest of Dean throughout March. The theme for the year was Gathering, celebrating community and togetherness. We came together on common ground; to share skills, food, creativity and culture. All activities were free or low cost.

THANK YOU...

The FOD Fringe 25 was Forest grown - made by you and us together; a huge THANK YOU to all the acts, producers, artists, organisations and communities who contributed to the fantastic program and to everyone who supported the development of the FOD Fringe. We couldn't have done it without you! #FodFringe25 #FodFringe

GATHERINGS & INDEPENDENT

There were 27 events during the month which were either a gathering or independent event.

Our Gatherings consisted of activity supported by Wyldwood Arts in collaboration with other creatives, producers and groups. Gatherings were proposed through our open call process, or through the development of partnership working. Events received a bursary and support as needed from Wyldwood Arts.

Independent events who reflected our ethos and festival themes also joined our programme. Wyldwood Arts supported access where possible, such as live captioning for Stories in the Dust.
