The annual build of The Sacred Union Labyrinth by 14 people over the week prior to Woodford Folk festival, coordinated by Robin and organized by a core group of four – Christine, Stephane, Rob and Robin, went very well despite extreme heat and then some rain.
The front entrance to the Labyrinth received a new mural art paint job, the guiding pennants got a solidifying make over and a quarter of the stone Labyrinth had some major drainage work done by hand!!! This drainage work turned out to be much needed due to rains during the Festival with thousands of people walking through the pathways then heavy, consistent rain on our pack down day.
Huge thank you to our Build Crew team and for Woodford Folk Festival for supporting us as a mini Department and Volunteers. Also big gratitude to Woodford Programming Department for supporting us as a Ceremony team (4 of us mostly – Robin Clayfield, Christine Clegg, Rob Clark, Stephane Cazard plus help from Raven, Caity, Britta and Brady) and our live band for the Ceremonies – (Andy Copeman, Rebekah Ray, Dave Rotherham and Natalie Richy) and for engauging the five acts who performed or presented in the space – Medicine Man Music (Andy Copeman and Laurel Hefferon), Olivia Rosebery, Heather Price with Michelle Neithe, Djuelu the Village Scribe (Rob Clark) and Rising Waves (Yoav, Steve and Caroline).
Such a diverse and beautiful festival and so many things to treasure, every time.
