Running 13–16 August 2026 at Newland Park, this is a celebration of nature and off-grid living. Expect four days of camping, live music and discovery, with workshops covering everything from renewable energy to outdoor skills. The whole site runs on solar power, so it's educational as well as entertaining.
The vibe
Think less festival chaos, more intentional community. You'll be surrounded by families and eco-minded types exploring sustainable alternatives in a woodland setting. There's a real sense of learning alongside the fun—kids discover hands-on what off-grid living means, whilst adults get proper insight into renewable energy and conservation. It's thoughtful without being preachy.
