Forest Live is a major live music series, managed by the Forestry Commission. Held every summer in seven beautiful forest locations across the country, over 1.5 million people have attended a gig in the programme’s seventeen-year history. With everything required for a great night out, including good food and drink, the concerts are renowned for their informal and relaxed atmosphere set to a spectacular forest backdrop. Income generated from ticket sales helps to look after the nation’s forests sustainably, for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive. Forest Live in this region takes place in Sherwood Pines Forest Park, near Edwinstowe, Notts and this year’s headline acts are: Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott with special guest Billy Bragg – Friday 22 June; Gary Barlow – Saturday 23 June; UB40 featuring Ali, Astro and Mickey – Sunday 24 June.
