About

What’s On Forest of Dean is a co-created community project, developed by Wyldwood Arts in partnership with communities across the Forest, and supported by The Community Lottery Fund and Arts Council England. Speaking with people across the Forest during 2020 about creativity and connection, one question came up time and time again – how do I find out what’s on?! (and not just after it’s happened!).

Similarly, event organisers have to work really hard to find audiences for creative activities, spending time marketing when they could be creating.

So, in response to a community need, What’s On FOD was created and launched. A community events listing website where events can be uploaded for free, by anyone.
