Join us for a relaxed weekend of permaculture based workshops, discussions and community camping, in a beautiful South Norfolk field. The gathering is a chance for like-minded folk to come together, connect with the land and share food and stories around a fire.

We'll have a very gentle schedule of workshops and talks taking place throughout the weekend.

Friday evening:

Welcome and Introduction to permaculture - Steve Land

Saturday:

Herb walk - Julie and Matthew Bruton-Seal

‘The Power of Permaculture Principles’ - An introduction to his new book with Wilf Richards, author and permaculture designer

Urban Permaculture: Combining real life examples with near term possibilities and plans - Andy Goldring, Permaculture Association CEO

Sunday:

Earth painting workshop - Candide Turnerbridger 

Designs for a common ground - a discussion about how we could live in connection and co-operation with others. 'What are our hearts telling us is desirable for social living?' - Elaine Noakes and Richard Shepherd

Ifarm project talk - a community benefit society in Thelnetham, Suffolk, who are growing food and community resilience - Brian Gibb, IFarm Land Manager

This year the Eastern Permaculture Gathering will be held at Woolsey Bridge Fields, just outside of Diss, in South Norfolk. Woolsey Bridge Fields is a green site that is managed for wildlife and conservation, with an off grid campsite (access to mains water but no electricity). The site has a fully provisioned kitchen, compost toilets, hot showers, wood-fired sauna, a roundhouse and a central hearth.

It’s a community camp, so we tend to cook and eat communally with everyone contributing to food (although anyone can opt out of this) and sharing jobs around the campsite such as cooking, cleaning, wood and water collection etc. and there’s always plenty of time for relaxing and just hanging out around the fire.

Campervans and caravans are welcome (no hook-ups).
Sorry, no dogs. (Except service dogs by arrangement)
