Woodland Pavilion

Machynlleth | 2013

With Mark Olver at the helm, the Pavilion has hosted some of the ‘best in show’ spontaneous collaborations between acts and the public. This was made possible by the minimal infrastructure of the Woodland

Pavilion which has sought to amplify the beauty of a little patch of under-used woodland. Re-orienting the centre of the town away from the roads and cars, the Pavilion has placed the green fields of Y Plas Machynlleth at centre stage.

The Pavilion consists of a stage with a suspended roof hanging from the trees by chains, raked seating, off grid lighting and a bicycle powered sound system. Over two summers it has hosted a huge range of events in the great outdoors. Funded by Sustainable Tourism Powys, Glasu and the Machynlleth Comedy Festival.
