Lunasa Festival: Shine Together

UPDATE - With regret we must announce the scaling-back of Lunasa Festival to a largely local-community-orientated event, for various logistical and financial reasons. Not least, a limitation on car parking and accommodation options for visitors within the Ecovillage means we can’t welcome the numbers that we’d like to, and would need to for the planned programme to be financially viable.

The programme info below has been revised then, pending announcement of the full programme in due course,

The festival will no longer be ticketed, with individual events payable by donation on the day instead.

A very limited number of camping tickets remain available for visitors. The Holiday Park may also have some availability still also.

Day visitors will still be welcomed to the event, but we must ask please that you do not arrive by car, due to the lack of parking.

Thanks for your understanding in this 🙏
