The Land Skills Fair 2023

THE LAND SKILLS FAIR 2023

What is the Land Skills Fair?

The Land Skills Fair is Building the movement through a celebration of diversity, wisdom and skills in activism, farming, forestry, food & land. 

The festival is a multigenerational and multicultural skill and knowledge exchange that aims to provide a safe space for everyone to learn from each other and explore different land-based topics and practices.

The event is member-led, with the majority of the skills, workshops and talks requested or offered by members and supporters of The Landworkers Alliance, Land In Our Names, FLAME and other partner unions and organisations. ​

What to expect? 

An awesome medley of practical workshops, skills shares, talks, activities, performance, live music and of course delicious local food and drink. 

TICKETS

Sadly, due to the extreme increases in industry costs this year we have had to put our prices up. We have a selection of ticket options on offer, including ticket options for folks on a low income. We also have a large number of fully paid bursary tickets available on request. 

The event is not for profit and uses funding from 30 Percy in order to keep ticket prices as low as possible. All income generated through sales goes directly into paying for the infrastructure, solar power, venue costs and entertainment of the event. 

If you purchase a higher price ticket, we would like to thank you for helping to keep ticket prices down for low income attendees, as well as allowing us to offer fully paid bursary options to marginalised groups and those in need. 

Member tickets:

To support the members and supporters of LWA, LION and FLAME we are offering a range of reduced ticket options, available on a first come first served basis.

Vehicle passes:

Due to site requirements and to reduce our carbon footprint, the amount of vehicles allowed on site will be limited again this year. You will need to book a pass for your vehicle or arrange another way of getting to the event.

We will be providing spaces to lock bikes this year, as well as organising shuttle bus rides from Kemble Train station. 

Parking and live-in vehicle passes are available on a first come first serve basis through the ticket page.
