Additionally, the festival has welcomed the mesmerizing sounds of The Unthanks. This British folk group pushes the boundaries of the genre, experimenting with intricate harmonies and unconventional instrumentation. Their performances at Timber Festival have showcased the beauty of traditional folk music while infusing it with a contemporary twist.

But Timber Festival is not only about music, through thought-provoking discussions, workshops, and immersive experiences, Timber Festival fosters a sense of community and encourages attendees to engage with important ideas and embrace a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. Attendees can experience discussions and poetries like Poetry with Raymond Antrobus, where Raymond Antrobus reads a selection of poetry including his poems from ‘The Perseverance and All The Names Given’. Also, Raynor Winn, where the author Raynor Winn recounts her most ambitious journey yet, Landlines, as she and her husband Moth walk 1000 miles from the northwest corner of Scotland to the south coast of Cornwall.

Moreover, Timber Festival's emphasis on being a boutique festival creates an intimate atmosphere that sets it apart from larger events. With a limited capacity of 5,000 attendees, the festival offers a unique and immersive experience, allowing festivalgoers to truly connect with the artists, nature, and one another.
