Join us, Saturday 21st February for a day of seed swapping followed by an evening of storytelling & stargazing in partnership with @factory_international ✨

FREE COMMUNITY DAY

Drop in 12-3pm to swap seeds. This won’t cost you a thing, and no need to book! Hot drinks and community lunch will be available, and there’s a talk on biodynamic growing at 2pm.

TICKETED EVENING

From 4pm we open to an evening of Stargazing! With the support of @factory_international tickets are just £5 and this will get you:

4pm - Talk on biodynamic growing - a system of agriculture that integrates scientific understanding with a recognition of spirit in nature

5pm - Dinner by MUD Kitchen including hot food, a hot drink and snacks

6pm - Talk by Dr Steven Gough-Kelly, astrophysics researcher at the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute, University of Lancashire

6.30pm - Gong Bath and Stargazing

7.30pm - Storytelling

8pm - Finish!

Bring:

Enough warm layers to be outside all evening including lying down for the gong bath (bring more than you need, it gets extra chilly lying down!)
Something to lie or sit down on, on the ground. We also have chairs for those with limited mobility.

For those staying for both parts of the day, hot chocolate will be available on site from 3.30pm.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

To get involved please sign up and we will be in touch.
