Paloma Faith will play a number of shows in forests across England this summer.

The singer has announced seven special shows in conjunction with the Forestry Commission as part of their Forest Live series.

The Script, Blondie and Paul Weller are all also set to perform forest shows for the body.

Faith's dates kick off at the Thetford Forest in Suffolk on June 14 and will end up at Cheshire's Delamere Forest on July 5.
