We will once again gather in early summer in the same part of the world as we did in 2025. Our 2026 edition will run from Friday to Sunday offering a weekend of sonic adventures.
Watching Trees is the combined dreamworld of Optimo (Espacio), Ransom Note, and an extended family. Offering you a unique environment in the outdoors to experience the Wild Planet Sounds that we love and want to share with you. Expect afternoon sonic excursions, sounds with no boundaries where experimentation is encouraged, evolving into forest dance parties by night and on into peaceful dawn rituals, ashram sets… until sleep… or as you please.
North Wiltshire. Full details will be mailed to ticket holders.
We have return coach travel running from London Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads which will take you straight on site.
The closest train stations are Chippenham and Bath Spa which are both about a £20 taxi from either station to the site.
Friday 29th May 2pm - Monday 1st June 10am
The programme runs from Friday until Sunday PM. There will be breaks during the weekend and the bar and Espacio will remain open on Sunday evening for those not leaving that day.
