Info
Take a quick trip into the woods and explore what ancient wonders await.
Join artist, Matthew Rosier on a guided visit to Bramingham Wood, an ancient woodland on the edge of Marsh Farm.
Participants will be immersed in this ancient wooded landscape, and have a demonstration of coppicing – where the branches of trees are chopped off periodically to supply wood, and to keep the woods healthy and full of life. Coppicing is a technique that has been used by humans in the area for centuries, and Woodland Trust’s Matthew George, manager at Bramingham Wood will deliver a demonstration.
This walk is part of artist Matthew Rosier’s ‘Luton Henge’ project: a new community monument made from the Chilterns landscape, inspired by its ancient sites and stories. Opening in Summer 2025, it’ll serve as a platform for community events and performances, celebrating the culture of Luton today.
