Decoration & Design

For the first edition of Timber Festival in 2018, we tasked our carpenter-maker Tom with building a double storey stage, with enough space for performers on the lower level and DJs on the upper level. Here's Tom with a section of the stage.

Elizabeth Alker, Radio 3 presenter, gave us a serene ambient set at Timber 2019 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon between the trees.

The word 'eyrie' means a large nest of a bird of prey built high in a tree or cliff.

We want audiences member of all generational groups to enjoy our festivals. Here, we created a constellation trail for families to explore together.

At Wild Rumpus HQ, we operate a designer-maker space where our talented design team fabricate all manner of things, from wayfinding signage, to giant lanterns to costume.

As part of Timber Festival we engage local schools within the National Forest to help cultivate a visual outcome for the festival. In 2018, we asked pupils to draw their own beastly forest monsters. We then shortlisted 12 and our design team created them writ-large!

Everyone loves to dress up for a festival so we created a small mobile station where festival-goers can get a wild hair-do or burst of eco-glitter for their face.

At Dunham Massey in Greater Manchester, we installed this letter-writing room as part of 'The Lost Carnival'.

Each spring, bluebells blossom at the Whirligig Woods, one of our spaces at Wild Rumpus HQ. It's also where our caravans live - these caravans house our staff at each of our festivals.
