Community Tent
Inside the tent we will be exhibiting the pop-up art exhibition ‘Green’ for you all to visit. Showcasing a range of local artists, it's going to be spectacular!
​
(The application process for this exhibition is still open, if you are interested please see the ‘Green’ poster below!)
Plus our book corner with Folde!
Folde is a gem nestled into the Dorset hills; an independent bookstore which works closely with publishers, artists and authors to promote, support and celebrate all things nature.
And signed copies of A Celebration of Willow by Kim Creswell! (See below for more information.)
There will also be a series of interactive events throughout the day:
Story Telling
12–12.50pm
Storyteller Sarah Mooney will be weaving ancient stories and modern humour to create a space for us to relax and integrate. She will be sharing some stories inspired by her training with Clarissa Pinkhola Estes, author of Women who run with the Wolves
Singing
1–2.20pm
Come and join Hedgesong Collective to sing with some of the beautiful trees on the Scythe Fair site. We will be teaching a handful of traditional and contemporary folk songs in celebration of trees, and sharing knowledge and lore about them. This is both a led and collaborative workshop - participants are very welcome to share their own songs and knowledge!
Talk

Kim Crewsell; sculptor, painter, herbalist and tutor, will be leading us on a cyclical journey through her talk; Working with Sun and Moon energy, with Willow as our Guide. In light of publishing her beautiful new book A Celebration of Willow, which she will be also selling and signing.
Folk Tales
