One Earth Festival 2024

One Earth Festival is a new one-day event for the Wyre Forest mixing music with messages and is brought to you by the team behind the music, workshops and magic of the popular Hopfest Festival.

Jack, Rod, Simon, John, Simone and Peter have created this community based, not for profit, event on behalf of Bewdley Festival working with a team of high school students.

Set in the fields of the Bewdley School, One Earth Festival delivers a message of sustainable living with a back-drop of top-quality music on 3 stages from 14 acts, a school showcase and an open mic stage from Ben and Stu, with truly something for all the family.

We have great live music, including Arcadia Roots, Sam Draisey, The Chloe Mogg Band, Alice and the Fairweather Riders, Broken Wires and, with their climate-change single “3 Degrees” getting a lot attention, Rebel and the Banned.

You can end the evening in true party-style with the magnificent Mothership after singing along to AbbA Dabba Doo!

Be inspired by our special guest, the amazing young environmentalist Mya-Rose Craig.
