Hi, I just wanted to send a note to say thank you so much for hosting radical bakers. My family had an amazing time and for me it was great that someone else catered healthy amazing tasty food for us! I’ve come away inspired and energised to get on with projects and believe anything is possible now with a little research. It was so good to meet people with a similar out look on life and listen to their stories and what they have achieved. Thank you to everyone who worked in the kitchens, behind the scenes organising everything and running the workshops as well as my fellow campers for being good people to spend a summer weekend with!
Pingle Kid’s Space
Our Kid’s Space crew hold court in the Pingle. There is stuff to do all day, hidden in the trees. We have 2 x 3hr sessions of organised children’s activities each day in the Pingle, a glade in the center of the events space. In addition there is a Baking Session where we will be organising a Kid’s team for the Bake-Off.
Hello All, thank you, once again, for a really good festival. This one seemed especially needed and joyful. It brought a great deal of much needed energy to my soul and hope going forward. Please extend all my thanks to everyone who made it so special.
Solar powered Live Music and entertainment
Our events are totally solar powered, this includes the stage and workshop spaces as well as the kitchen appliances and site lighting. We are committed to recycling everything we can. There are clean, working composting toilets and clean drinking water. There is a hot shower and a hot water washing up station.
