More Information

Hold onto your hats because the headlining act this year is none other than the energising folk band Stornoway! They're back on stage after a little hiatus, ready to belt out their inspiring tunes from three studio albums that have touched souls and set toes tapping for a whole generation. And that's just the tip of the musical iceberg – a vibrant mix of folk, world, jazz, and dub sounds is all set to make your heart sing, your feet dance, and your inner party animal roar with delight.

But it's not just about the music – oh no! Prepare for your mind to be tickled and your horizons to expand with talks from guest speakers like the legendary Charles Dowding, the No-dig Gardening maestro. They're going to spill the beans on practical crafts that'll have you flourishing like a pro in the future. And don't worry, we haven't forgotten the art enthusiasts and history buffs – there are workshops, presentations, and poetry readings scattered throughout the festival. Keep your eyes peeled for a special theatre treat from Three Acres and A Cow, famous for their quirky and captivating musical dive into the UK's land rights history.

When the moon takes its place, the party is far from over. The secret soundproofed stage becomes a hub of late-night DJ goodness, keeping night owls grooving. And let's not forget the mouthwatering local food stalls, a bar stocked with the finest ales, ciders, wines, and perry, plus a marketplace brimming with local treasures – it's all like a cosy and self-sufficient utopia you won't want to bid farewell to!

Rest your head atop the coppiced hill at Dummer Down Farm's comfy campsite – your ticket to a countryside escape. Expect serene moments, collective giggles, soul-lifting highs, and some cultural enlightenment. Where else can you find such a unique blend of experiences?

Worthy Earth managed to keep ticket prices down to earth, understanding that times can be a bit tight for everyone. Carers and Land Workers' Alliance members, they've got your back with special concessions (just give them a shout for those super-secret codes). So, come one, come all – join the Worthy Earth family. Hurry and snag your ticket, because they're keeping things cosy with limited spots, just like last year's unforgettable shindig!
