Woman Fest: The all-Woman Radical Participation Festival will be returning for our THIRD YEAR! 

My GODDESS, We've missed you all: we've missed welcoming new sisters and old; wondering at the magic that always happens whenever we come together, and the sheer brilliance of what we create together. 

We are trying something new this year at WomanFest - Where we no longer have the distinction between volunteer and participants - If we are going to label ourselves a radical participation festival - we want to keep delving into what that really means! 

What this means this year is that there are two ways into the festival - As an active part of our community, or as a visitor - this is reflected in the price of £145 (early bird is £100) and £240 - This JUST covers our ability to put the festival on and to feed everyone to make it as available as possible to all women, we could be charging a lot more, but we are anti-commercialisation so if you feel you can afford more, please Donate at the bottom of the page! We're here to put on a beautiful gathering, but we are also here to plant some trees, and to be able to honour the Women who work tirelessly to hold the space.

You'll see that there are many ways to Participate in the festival - you can teach, perform, help in the Spa, Park cars - Whatever you want! Many hands make light work, so instead of volunteers working 4-6 hour shifts a day, the whole festival comes together to make it happen. 

WE CREATE TOGETHER. Everyone is important, and we all find our part to play in it. 

This is our festival, our community - everyone is needed, everyone is valued. 

Ticket price includes meals and access all areas. For more info on how the festival operates go to www.womanfest.co.uk 

--------------------PLEASE READ THE TICKET SELECTION CAREFULLY----------------------------------------------------

The Radical Participation tickets go like this:

Workshop Leader: For a Woman who is well versed at running workshops and can run one for a minimum of 40 women OR a Woman holding a talk- We are super happy to hold you if you have never run one before and are trying to step up, but if this is the case, please come through another ticket and apply for space in one of the tents. If you purchase a workshop ticket and do not have the experience, we will ask you to buy another and void this one.

Performer: This is for someone or a group coming to do a full show (singing/dancing/burlesque..whatever) - If you just want to share a few songs or poems, please come through another ticket and apply to the Expression Tent for a time slot or just come on in our free mic sessions.

Info Tent: Helping to run the Info tent - getting to know the layout of the festival, the schedule and helping others. It is also our first aid tent so please apply if you have some training, and our lost and found. This is one of the easier tickets for our more elderly/otherwise abled sisters, so please be aware of that on purchase is you are able bodied.

Kitchen Crew : We have the most amazing team from the Co-exist kitchen coming to cook for us all this year - you'll be helping them prepare, cook and clean for a shift during the festival. Pouring your love into our food!

Welcome: Everyone coming into the festival has to be met, parked and ticketed. This is the gateway into the festival and a wonderful chance to be the first face the women coming see!

Land Care Crew: The crew that really encapsulates Our Permaculture Principles: Tending to the compost, recycling, checking the compost loos and helping to keep us Covid safe (touchpoint!) - This is the ticket that will get you the most high fives! We love you x

Spa Crew: We have wood-fired hot tubs and a sauna that need tending - The Spa can be the most special place in the world....women singing in the steam- If you are drawn to the Waters and the Fire for it's Alchemy, you are Spa Crew already :)

Decor set-up/set-down: This requires no work at the festival itself! But you must be available Wednesday 21st 9 am (you can stay the night before), to help get all our gorgeous decorations up! And you'll stick around on Sunday to help get them all back down again. (note: Not turning up on then Wednesday morning will immediately void your ticket)

Set-Down: We love those who stick around to help clean-up. But it's always surprising how few do. So we created a separate ticket for it. You'll have to keep Monday 26th July free (plus, that's when we have our after-festival party, so it's fuuuuuuun)

Build set-up/Maintenance/site crew: N.B. ONLY FOR WOMEN WITH HANDY SKILLS - This is our only free ticket because it requires some serious hands-on work before, during and after the festival - You are Crew - there to help build, maintain and breakdown. At the festival, you are on call if something needs fixing. Badass women need only apply.
