Event description

Clayfest is back!

Four days of earth building, learning and connection. With talks, hands-on sessions, demos, site visits, and time to rest and chat, this is the annual gathering you won’t want to miss. We have listened to you and are bringing an event that will bring everyone together!

This year, our focus is on community and collaboration.


Thursday 25 September – Conference
At The Elgiva Theatre, Chesham

  • A full day of inspiring talks and presentations from across the world of earth and natural building with a community and collaborative approach. This is the warm-up where ideas are exchanged, questions asked, and new perspectives opened up.


Friday 26–Sunday 28 September – 'The Gathering' - Practical Sessions and camping
At H.G. Matthews Brickworks, Bellingdon

The Gathering will be full of hands-on workshops, demos, shared meals, and meaningful conversations, including follow-up those perspectives opened during the Conference. It’s where we learn by doing, build together, and explore the many sides of natural construction. 

The main activities will take place on Friday and Saturday, while Sunday will be a more relaxed, reflective day to wrap up discussions, continue the community project for those who want, and celebrate our collective achievements, preparing to depart and continue collaborating for the rest of the year.

Within The Gathering:

  • Workshops – Learn practical skills from experienced builders and craftspeople

  • The Community Project – A collaborative piece that will stay as a lasting symbol of our time together

  • The Discovery Stage – Space for participants to bring your own project, idea, or challenge

  • The Exchange Stage – Join and bring thematic discussions and connect around shared interests. 

Arrive for camping from 2pm - 8pm Wednesday 24th September
