The Land Skills Fair is a beautiful celebration of our movement; a coming-together of our diverse voices and an opportunity to keep proliferating connections in our networks. All of this bound together in the spirit of celebration, joy and communion with the land, and to the sounds of incredible music and in the presence of soul-enriching art.

Grounded in radical politics and practicality, there is space to share skills we’ve learned on the land as well as ways-of-being that we’ve learned from it.

There will be workshops and skill-shares covering farming, forestry, craft, natural building and activism. Alongside this will be spaces open for those discussions around how we build a more equitable society together.

This year’s event is much smaller than in previous years due to being run currently without any funding. The ticket prices have been set so that the festival covers all costs. We hope you will understand that the costs of running the fair are high, but we consider it such an important movement building space that we wanted to try to hold it this year without financial support, to set a precedent, and give it space to grow again. The Landworkers’ Alliance does not make a profit from the event.

This year’s theme is Land Justice and the programme will be organised to give space for workshops and gatherings designed to facilitate greater access to land. This organising is the main focus of the event and it will have a very DIY feel, with plenty of space for self-organised workshops and entertainment.

We have a fantastic musical line up, and craft workshops too. Come and sing and dance and play together.

We will be sharing lots more information over the coming weeks as we build up to the Land Skills Fair.

Solidarity Tickets

We never want finances to be a barrier to accessing the Land Skills Fair, especially in the midst of the cost of living crisis through which so many of us are struggling. We’ve included the absolute maximum of solidarity tickets we could whilst still making the LSF viable. So please consider really carefully whether this is the ticket that is for you. These tickets are for those who cannot afford to pay the full price ticket, who are struggling to make ends meet. If you can pay the full price ticket, please do, and your contribution will be much appreciated and play an important part in making the Land Skills Fair happen.

Children’s tickets (ages 5 - 14)

All children under the age of 5 are welcome to join for free. Children are so welcome at the Land Skills Fair. There will be plenty for them to enjoy and participate in, with lots of entertainment catering especially for our young ones. We unfortunately have to limit the number of children’s tickets as we cannot generate enough income from their ticket price to cover the offerings for them. We wish we could offer more children’s tickets, but with not much funding for the festival this year this is not possible.
