In regard to promoting eco friendly solutions, the Eco Campsite has a wonderful variety of stalls, such as One Planet, which focuses on climate change dangers, reforestation and biodiversity. Sustainable Living will show the public how to live “green”, and massage therapies, treatments and holistic medicines will be showcased in The Body and Soul Zone. The Food Village offers local cuisine and treats that range from burgers, BBQ, cheese and ice-cream to getting a look at organic foods and learning a few useful tips from Christopher Trotter, food author and legendary chef.

Authors, poetry, talks and books are the order of the day at the Head Zone, while children will be entertained and kept busy in the Children’s Zone with games, puzzles, activities, storytelling, workshops, games, music and crafts.
