Wonderfruit Unveils Solar Village, a Modular Timber Enclave Built Around Sunrise and Sunset
Music and arts festival Wonderfruit has introduced a new on-site space called Solar Village via its official Instagram. The area is built around the rhythm of sunrise and sunset light, with a modular timber structure designed by Gregg Fleishman that expands into a small settlement of wings, pods and gathering spaces for attendees — referred to by the festival as "Wonderers" — to explore, play and rest.
A Modular Timber Settlement, Not a Single Stage
At the core of Solar Village is Fleishman's modular wood construction. Rather than one central structure, it branches outward into multiple units that the festival describes as three connected forms: wings, pods, and gathering spaces, together making up a "village."
The space is positioned to function both as a performance venue and as a place to simply linger throughout the day, with Wonderers expected to gather there in step with the first and last light of each day.
Programming That Follows the Light
According to the festival's announcement, programming in Solar Village runs in a sequence tied to the daily light cycle:
- Sunrise celebratory soundtracks
- Live performances
- DJ sets
- Sunset sessions
- Quieter programming after dark
In other words, the intensity and format of the space shifts with the sun — from sunrise celebratory soundtracks through live performances and DJ sets to sunset sessions, before settling into quieter programming after dark — rather than following a fixed performance schedule.
