Summoned to play a role for the Woodford Folk Festival’s closing ceremony show, Victor the giant went to Woodfordia and ended up landing a job as the caretaker of the land.
That’s a 500 years contract!
Victor is the current caretaker of Woodfordia. Keen gardener and general jack-of-all-trades, he is a earnest and diligent young giant who has now moved to the area. Whether inspecting the impact of the festival lights and noises on all the creatures and plants of the village or ensuring the festival stalls’ rooves and pathways are safe for all creatures, at six metres tall, Viktor treads carefully through the streets of Woodfordia, always mindful of his role in the community. Victor also enjoys taking part in village life and locals still speak of his moving performance of ‘Viktor the old man’ in the 2016 New Year celebrations.
