SUMMARY:34: The critical raw materials shaping our future
DESCRIPTION:34: The critical raw materials shaping our future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Breaking Ground\n\n\n\n34: The Critical Raw Materials Shaping Our Future is a major new exhibition at Oxford University Museum of Natural History explores the hidden materials that power modern life — from smartphones and batteries to medical equipment and jet engines. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition examines the 34 raw materials considered essential to the UK’s future\, revealing the global supply chains\, ethical challenges and scientific innovations behind the minerals that underpin everyday technology. \n\n\n\nDeveloped in collaboration with researchers from the University of Oxford’s Oxford EARTH Programme and departments across the physical\, life and social sciences\, the exhibition explores how increasing demand for green energy and digital technology is transforming the global race for critical materials. \n\n\n\nVisitors can discover why substances such as lithium\, cobalt and rare earth elements are so important to modern society\, why supply chains are becoming increasingly fragile\, and how scientists and industry are searching for more sustainable and ethical ways to source\, use and recycle these materials. \n\n\n\nThrough interactive displays\, scientific research\, historic objects and contemporary technologies\, the exhibition examines the future of extraction\, sustainability and resource security\, while highlighting the environmental and geopolitical challenges linked to critical raw materials. \n\n\n\nDesigned for audiences of all ages\, the exhibition is accompanied by a programme of talks\, workshops\, tours and family activities exploring the science\, ethics and global impact of the materials shaping our future. \n\n\n\nWhat are critical raw materials?\n\n\n\nCritical raw materials are those essential to key technologies but their supply may be limited\, unsustainable or unethical. Critical raw materials tend to have unique chemical properties which make them difficult to replace in technology. The UK government includes 34 raw materials on its designated critical list\, but lists vary from country to country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\naluminium\n\n\n\nantimony\n\n\n\nbismuth\n\n\n\nborates\n\n\n\ncobalt\n\n\n\ngallium\n\n\n\ngermanium\n\n\n\nhafnium\n\n\n\nhelium\n\n\n\nindium\n\n\n\niridium\n\n\n\niron\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlithium\n\n\n\nmagnesite\n\n\n\nmagnesium\n\n\n\nmanganese\n\n\n\nnatural graphite\n\n\n\nnickel\n\n\n\nniobium\n\n\n\nphosphorus\n\n\n\nplatinum\n\n\n\nrare earth elements (REEs)\n\n\n\nrhenium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nrhodium\n\n\n\nruthenium\n\n\n\nsilicon\n\n\n\nsodium\n\n\n\ntantalum\n\n\n\ntellurium\n\n\n\ntin\n\n\n\ntitanium\n\n\n\ntungsten\n\n\n\nvanadium\n\n\n\nzinc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices: \n\n\n\n\nEntry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed.\n\n\n\nNo booking required.\n\n\n\nBooking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day.\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: \n\n\n\n\nMonday to Sunday from 10.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\nLast entry at 4.45pm\n\n\n\nClosed on 24\, 25\, & 26 December\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\nPlease contact the friendly team at the museum by telephone (01865 272 950) or email (foh@oum.ox.ac.uk) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand \n\n\n\n\nBattery Ores\n\n\n\nBismuth\n\n\n\nCobalt\n\n\n\nDysprosium\n\n\n\nHalite\n\n\n\nREEs\n\n\n\n\nImage credit: Sarah Bell

SUMMARY:Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum
DESCRIPTION:About Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum\n\n\n\nSet within one of the UK’s most celebrated tree collections\, Westonbirt Arboretum becomes something entirely different each summer when it hosts Forest Live — the Forestry England concert series that transforms ancient woodland into a natural amphitheatre. \n\n\n\nPresented by Forestry England\, the Westonbirt dates are often considered among the most atmospheric in the entire Forest Live calendar. Here\, music doesn’t just fill a space; it sits within it\, framed by towering maples\, historic avenues\, and the quiet geometry of the arboretum’s landscape design. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA concert stage carved into the woodland\n\n\n\nUnlike traditional festival sites\, Westonbirt doesn’t impose itself on the landscape. Instead\, the stage is carefully integrated into open glades within the arboretum\, with natural gradients forming gentle viewing terraces. \n\n\n\nAs evening falls\, light rigs cut through the tree line\, while the surrounding canopy absorbs the sound and softens it — creating a listening experience that feels unusually intimate\, even for headline acts. \n\n\n\nAudiences typically arrive early\, settling into the space with blankets\, chairs\, and picnics as the arboretum slowly shifts from daytime calm to concert energy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Westonbirt atmosphere\n\n\n\nWhat sets Westonbirt apart in the Forest Live series is its mood. It feels less like a festival site and more like a shared gathering in a living landscape. \n\n\n\nExpect: \n\n\n\n\nLong golden-hour performances as daylight filters through the trees\n\n\n\nA relaxed\, picnic-led audience culture rather than tightly packed crowds\n\n\n\nFood and drink villages set discreetly within woodland clearings\n\n\n\nThe occasional pause where the forest itself becomes the backdrop between sets\n\n\n\nA sense of scale that is wide\, but never overwhelming\n\n\n\n\nThere is a natural rhythm to the evening here — one that follows the light\, the trees\, and the gradual transition into dusk. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMusic in a living collection\n\n\n\nThe arboretum itself is central to the experience. Westonbirt is not just a venue; it is a globally significant tree collection\, home to thousands of labelled specimens from around the world. \n\n\n\nThat context adds a subtle layer to the concerts: performances take place not in a generic outdoor field\, but within a carefully curated landscape of botanical and historical importance. \n\n\n\nIt’s a setting where conservation\, culture\, and entertainment overlap without competing for attention. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Westonbirt stands out\n\n\n\nAmong all Forest Live locations\, Westonbirt is often remembered for its contrast — polished touring acts set against a landscape that feels ancient\, quiet\, and deliberately uncommercial. \n\n\n\nIt is a venue where scale is measured differently: not by size of crowd\, but by depth of atmosphere. \n\n\n\nFor many\, a Forest Live concert here becomes less about a single performance and more about the experience of being in the arboretum at night — when the trees\, light\, and music briefly share the same space. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForestry England Westonbirt Arboretum 2026 line-up\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 24 June: Fatboy Slim (with Sally C + DJ Paulette)\n\n\n\nThursday 25 June: Deacon Blue (with Lightning Seeds + Shay O’Dowd)\n\n\n\nFriday 26 June: UB40 ft Ali Campbell (with Bitty McLean + Reggae Roast ft MC Horseman)\n\n\n\nSaturday 27 June: Rick Astley (with The Lottery Winners + Deco)\n\n\n\nSunday June 28 June: Richard Ashcroft (with Tom Meighan + Apollo Junction + DJ Wayne)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting there\n\n\n\n\n\nBy car+\n\n\n\n\nAll Westonbirt Arboretum Forest Live car parks open at 4:30pm (except on Thursday and Friday evenings when they open at 6:00pm). \n\n\n\nParking costs £11 per car in advance. If you plan on arriving by car\, a parking space must be booked in advance\, alongside admission tickets. Book a parking space with Ticketmaster. \n\n\n\nAccessible Blue Badge Parking can be booked online (same charges apply).  \n\n\n\nSubject to availability\, limited parking may be available on the day at a cost of £20\, payable on arrival (card payments only).  \n\n\n\nThose attending concerts from the north and north east (such as from the M5 J13\, Stroud\, Cirencester and Gloucester) will be parked in Westonbirt School grounds postcode GL8 8QG opposite the arboretum with a controlled pedestrian crossing and an approximate 1 mile walk to the arena along the level and well surfaced Mitchell Drive\, through the heart of the beautiful Arboretum. This is to allow better traffic flow\, particularly when you leave the site once the concert has ended. \n\n\n\nCustomers with additional access needs should see venue access information \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy coach+\n\n\n\n\nTravel in a greener way with our return coach service to Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum. Advance booking is essential. See ticket link above. \n\n\n\nPick up points TBA \n\n\n\nAfter the concert\, you are required to be at the pick-up point within 30 mins of the concert ending. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy public transport+\n\n\n\n\nThe nearest train station is at Kemble (Swindon to Gloucester line)\, 12 miles away. \n\n\n\nOnly pre-booked taxis will be allowed on site\, we do not have a taxi rank of cars waiting for passengers. Make sure you’ve considered your return journey before arriving and book in advance. \n\n\n\nPlease use the designated pick up point to meet with your taxi or lift home. Do not arrange to meet them on the main road. This is dangerous due to high speed traffic at night and would have an adverse impact on our neighbours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\nTo book a personal assistant ticket\, or viewing platform or accessible grass viewing area places\, request an approved account in advance \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery
