Solar powered Live Music and entertainment

We are proud to host the Green Dragon Solar Stage. Quality live bands each evening – professional acts with a modern PA system powered from the sun. Take a look at past bands in our Music Archive. 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 working composting toilets, clean drinking water and a hot shower. We ask people to bring their own utensils and provide a hot water washing up station. We have a beautiful site at Berrington Hall, but please do not expect glamping.

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

We have organised activities for children at our Summer Gathering. Get ready for a Wild Play adventure with our Kid’s Space Crew! Join us for two action-packed 3-hour sessions each day. Unleash your inner Baker and join our Kid’s Baking Session, where we’ll form an all-star Kid’s Team to win the Bake-Off! And don’t forget the Lemon Jousting!

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.
