I am looking forward to this very special festival on the 29th to the 31st of this month. It takes place near Bath and has a really interesting line up of musicians, poets and artists. It is not your run of the mill festival, but offers a great selection of activities, from theWild Food and Medicine workshop, through to the sheep shearing and yoga. I am running a poetry workshop on the Saturday and will be reading around the site as well.
On the music front there will be sets from Joe Driscoll, Sheelanagig, Benin City, John Fairhurst, Kasai Masai, Artful Badger and many more. I think this will be a great weekend with a really different and exciting set of activities and music.
The profits from the festival go to Jamies Farm a charity aimed at supporting young people who are excluded from school. You can find out more information about this worthwhile charity here: http://www.jamiesfarm.org.uk/

As the tickets are limited to 500, this will be no crowded, souless, commercial experience but a small, friendly festival set in the beautiful countryside of Somerset.
I look forward to seeing you there and talking about poetry.
