Taking place Sunday 10th — Thursday 28th July 2022, join us for 3 weeks of workshops, talks, walks, boat rides, lunches, dinners. Let’s join together to celebrate our neighbourhood and be inspired by ideas from all over the world to explore how we nurture places where everyone can thrive in balance with their local ecology, the planet and people globally.

With a festival tent based at Selwyn Road Playing Fields, part of Birmingham Settlement, this will be our a relaxed DIY base for the duration of the festival, overlooking Edgbaston Reservoir. There we will host many events across the weeks, as well as use it as a base to explore more broadly, including trips to Centre For Alternative Technology, Participatory City and zero carbon house, as well as activities at nearby Link Road, St Vincent Street W, South Loop Park and more.
