Directors from the Big Green Gathering are in talks with the Eden Project who are hoping to have an area at the festival, which will provide entertainment, demonstrations and news of activities at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The Big Green Gathering has a serious message about environmental issues and by showcasing sustainable lifestyles alongside entertainment powered by renewable energy, the event intends to show people how they can reduce their carbon footprint in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
Powered by wind, sun and the people the Big Green Gathering has something for everyone from child to pensioner offering clowns, theatre, dance, poetry, cinema, music, workshops, green markets, and daily discussions with panels of prominent experts exploring key green issues.
This five day festival is divided into several themed zones, each contributing to a vision of sustainable living, combined with entertainment from alternative theatre to carnival and eastern folk.
