The event

Workshop information | General information | Festival locations

The aim is to create a lively festival which has an intimate, friendly atmosphere. To this end, The Flavel will be used imaginatively to create space for stalls, workshops and therapy areas. The hall will have a maze-like, bazaar feel with a refreshment area including tables and chairs. The stage will further create interest with a mix of musicians, dancers and performers.

The stands will be occupied by a mix of traders but with the emphasis on quality and vitality. A range of therapists, speakers and workshop facilitators will ensure there is enough on offer to create interest among both the newcomer to the alternative scene and the die hards!
