The Woodford Folk Festival is one of the only major festivals in the world to have a permanent home. The current site reaches over 500 acres with the festival grounds consisting of 13 bars, 46 selected cafes & restaurants, 160 craft, merchandise and information stalls, an on-site doctor’s surgery, 2 general stores and an internet cafe. Some of these venues also include space dedicated for a children's festival, a visual arts lane and Arti Arti, amphitheatres, a nursery, disability camping facilities, shuttle bus stops, a greenhouse, a free homeopathic clinic, committee room and much more.

Existing Village Area Analysis over 3D Contour Model
The existing site currently has the main permanent festival
village located in the low-lying areas following the creek line. Grassed and vegetated
zones on the neighbouring hills are dedicated to festival acts and stages. The
remaining un-noted areas are left for vegetation regeneration zones, patron
camping and specialty service areas.
Area Zone Analysis 2012
My site proposal for 2050 is to move the permanent village
out of the low-lying, possible future flood-prone area and integrate both the
festival and village zones into festive community hubs, allowing the creek to
be cleaned up, revived and revegetated.
