What is Woo Fest?

Woo Fest is a multi- genre music festival for all ages that raises funds for St Richard’s Hospice, Worcester. It’s set in a beautiful location near Upton upon Severn at the Drum and Monkey and has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2015 raising over £140K. It's grown from a small festival of friends and family to the first festival on the calendar for many new friends, and now achieved national recognition as the Best small festival in the UK (UK Festival awards 2019) and again in 2022 (UK Festival Awards) - 2 years in a row (it didn't run during covid years)

Festival Objectives

Ensure every single penny of the ticket price goes straight to St Richards Hospice, only possible through the love and support of sponsors and volunteers

Showcase high quality musicians playing a mix of genres and covers/originals, whilst giving new local acts a chance to perform wherever possible

Create a friendly chilled environment where all ages and people mix

Provide constant music on 2 alternating stages

Provide decent food at a prices lower than larger festivals with every penny raised going to St Richard's Hospice. We have been lucky to do this thanks to the support of local butchers, cheese makers and supermarkets who provide every ingredient!

Ensure there are loads of things for kids to do - in the past this has included music/dance workshops, traditional bouncy/slidey stuff, bushcraft, craft workshops and a shop where all proceeds go to the hospice.

Provide full camp site facilities for a true festival experience - apart from the toilets - we have proper toilets!
