Have you ever been to a concert in a forest? No? Well now my lovelies – is your chance!
Each summer, The Forestry commission host a series of special concerts in seven fabulous forest venues throughout England. Over the years we’ve attended a few ‘Forest Live’ concerts at our wonderful forest – Cannock Chase and have to say the atmosphere is incredible.
What’s totally awesome about these unique concerts is that the income generated from ticket sales is spent on protecting, improving and expanding England’s forests and woodlands and increasing their value to people and wildlife. Over Forest Live’s 14 year history, money raised has contributed to a wide range of projects, from wildlife conservation to making improvements for visitors. That’s pretty special isn’t it?
This year sees an amazing collection of musical talent that caters for every taste from the 80’s legends Spandau Ballet and Robert Plant to todays chart toppers Paloma Faith, Tom Odell, The Vamps, and McBusted. Tickets are still available for some Forest live gigs around the UK so please do pop over here for more information and to book.

Lovelies! You are in for a real treat! We’ve a pair of tickets to see Tom Odell with special guest Rae Morris at a Forestry commission venue of your choice from the list below.
Tom Odell’s debut album ‘Long Way Down’ shot straight to number one. Singles from the album including ‘Can’t Pretend’, ‘Hold Me’ and the gargantuan ‘Another Love’ illustrate a song-writing maturity beyond his years. This has resulted in his achieving the ultimate industry accolade of ‘Songwriter of the Year’ at the 2014 Ivor Novello Awards as well as previously winning the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award for 2013.
Following a succession of sold out headline tours and with ‘Long Way Down’ being certified gold, a packed summer of festival appearances in 2014 included V Festival, Isle of Wight and a show supporting one of his idols Neil Young at Hyde Park.
Chosen to perform the soundtrack to John Lewis 2014 Christmas advert, the 24-year-old added his spine-tingling vocals to a cover of the John Lennon’s classic ‘Real Love’, generating millions of YouTube views.
