The festival’s owner, James Cohen, has said: “We can’t wait to welcome our Forbidden Family back to the Forest this year. Their unwavering support has been nothing short of incredible and is a true testament to the community we have built over the last few years."

Adding: "Forbidden has grown from a 1,000-capacity party in the woods to the unique forest party that we know today and we can’t wait for people to experience what we have planned for 2025.”
