The Community Farm returns and will be running tours, wildlife walks and workshops, so you can see organic and regenerative farming in action.
From pint-sized punk poetry with T.S Idiot, to The Little Things Theatre and Stone the Crones performances from Beccy Golding, the festival promises something for the whole family at the Hear Here stage.
When you’re in need of pampering, the Spa area promises to provide massages, meditation and movement; from sacred sound to yoga flow, reiki to reflexology, it will all be there.
