Between The Trees is a four-day boutique festival set in beautiful woodland near the coast in South Wales. Surrounded by forest and close to the famous sand dunes of Merthyr Mawr, it blends live music, art, nature and wellbeing in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
What to Expect:
- Live music – A mix of indie-folk, acoustic, roots and alternative artists performing across woodland stages.
- Arts & culture – Storytelling, spoken word, theatre and immersive installations inspired by nature.
- Talks & workshops – Sessions on ecology, conservation, sustainable living and creativity.
- Wellbeing activities – Yoga, meditation, forest bathing and other mindful experiences.
- Family activities – Dedicated children’s areas and hands-on workshops.
The Atmosphere:
The festival focuses on connection — to nature, to creativity and to each other. It promotes sustainability and a leave-no-trace ethos, encouraging attendees to respect the woodland surroundings.
Staying On-Site:
Camping and glamping options are available, along with food vendors, bars, showers and other facilities to make it a comfortable weekend in the woods.
Between The Trees offers a laid-back alternative to larger music festivals — combining coastal scenery, woodland immersion and a thoughtfully curated cultural programme.
Merthyr Mawr National Nature Reserve is one of Wales’ Sites of Special Scientific Interest and is a haven for wildlife, with its magical woodland areas, magnificent sand dunes and the sea beyond.
