Community Tent
This year the Community Tent’s theme is Tools
Come and join us for a weekend celebrating and exploring the innately human and incredibly diverse relationships we have with tools. We will be looking into the creativity and resilience that tools can bring to our lives, empowering us to transform our futures.
On Sunday we have an array of talks and interactive events taking place inside of the Community Tent and outside in the village green area…
Expect talks from Samuel Lewis, a subsistence farmer using only hand tools joining us from Brittany, Common Treasures; an organisation bringing together practical responses to contemporary rural issues and Paul and Ed from Meadow in my Garden and RhizoPhyllia join us again for their deep dive into meadows.
Sarah Mooney will be taking us through a portal into the world of tools through the ancient art of oral storytelling. Pizza and Puppets will be feeding us and entertaining us with their puppetry shows, The Museum of Roadside Magic returns again with their Roadside magic teatime pageant, and Tim Hill will be bewildering us on a folk music journey in ‘Scraps, Heaps and Jumbles’!
Exhibiting inside will be Sam Copsey’s moving mechanical sculptures, Samuel Lewis’s subsistence farming drawings and the Fifty Bees CIC!
Plus a display of the scythe fair set up over the years!
Lastly, but by no means least do take a turn around the village green where you will find The Nowhere Forge repairing your tools, The Museum of Roadside Magic, Jozef’s marvellous inventions- Games corner, Pizza and Puppets, Rima Staines’s travelling gallery and palm reading, The Herbal Spa and Community Crafting for all your mending needs!
