What is the Festival of Permaculture? The Festival of Permaculture began life at a national gathering of permaculture enthusiasts (Convergence). It has grown into a community of people seeking to make meaningful changes to the way they live, garden, grow food and cohabit on the earth. With a focus on permaculture design, practical workshops and inspiring speakers, this year’s event will be focused on the power of Community. The Permaculture Association and its thousands of members around Britain and the planet have been cultivating healthy communities for four decades. This year we will be celebrating the power of those communities to inspire meaningful, actionable, collaborative change. A community of changemakers Our workshops are facilitated by our wonderful Festival community. Whether you are just starting out on your permaculture adventure or you are an elder, we welcome all people and all perspectives. It’s the rich, diverse conversations that happen when we are together, that are the springboard for change. Join your permaculture tribe and work together to develop solutions for your ecosystem, your community and our planet. Practical sessions Whether it is learning how to apply biodynamic preparations to your compost, site your compost toilet, carve a spoon, make an oak peg or spin some yarn, there will always be something to turn your hand to throughout the weekend. Whilst we encourage everyone to get involved, we appreciate that leaving space for discussion and connecting with your fellow attendees is just as valuable. Dine together We believe that eating together is a great opportunity to connect with fellow permaculturists and share experiences. Our wonderful catering team serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, all included in the ticket price. There is also a community cafe to stock up on drinks and snacks between meals! Laugh together Our evenings are a time for reflection and celebration, we aim to have something to suit your energy levels. Tell stories by the fire, lose yourself in the sounds of Eliza Delf & the Wilderness Collective, jam with KMT, get pedalling to power Rakesh's pedal-powered reggae sound system or cosy down in our cinema. Bring an instrument, a story or just yourself.
