Whistlewood Common
Whistlewood is a community-owned social enterprise with ten acres of land in Melbourne, Derbyshire, where we are creating a new type of community woodland.
No general volunteering or Duke of ed/ youth volunteers tomorrow Saturday 25th June
Please share your photos. The sunset and double rainbows were particularly spectacular and we’ve had many many positive comments about the quality of the bands, food, beer. Thank you to everyone involved. ![]()
This is Whistlewood’s main fundraiser and the rain has lowered numbers so if you didn’t attend and feel it’s a project worth supporting then please buy some shares or make a donation. Details on website.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
Whistlewood’s Midsummer Music Festival is today! Get your tickets on the door. Weather better than forecast so come and have fun, great beer (Tollgate) Pizza, noodles, posh burgers and of course local bands. Dogs on short leads welcome. Free- range children very welcome.
If you’ve not been to the site for a while you’ll be amazed at how much it’s changed since the last festival.

Hi there folks, no volunteering today (general or Duke of Ed) as there is an event on. So just enjoy the sunshine 🙂
Hi all. Our Music Festival is approaching fast and it is our main Fundraiser of the year. It is on the 18 June. We are having a tea and cake stall (who does not love cake!). Can you bake a cake for us? Lets all get baking. Ideally bring it with you to the festival but just message below if you can bake a cake but are not going to the festival and we will work something out. Thx so much for your support.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday at 1.30 for our Carers Event as part of National Carers event. With Tea, Cake, Foot massages and Forest Bathing spend some time relaxing in our beautiful woodland. If you need help in getting to Whistlewood Melbourne Community Care will be laying on their minibus to help you to get to us. If you are coming please let us know by emailing bookings@whistlewoodcommon.org (and let us know if you need a lift by bus).
