There's a strong ecologically aware element to the festival, with the buses running on used cooking oil, solar powered generators along with a 24-hour cinema, and various extras.

With an expected attendance of only 2,000 guests, a handful of stages for live music, magical mystery tour buses, a cinema tent, installation art, fresh local produce, a family area, cabaret and walkabout performance, workshops and games, a healing area, 100% audience participation and a heavy dash of the absurd.

Charities

The Playgroup Festival is not-for-profit and is collaborating with local representatives from War on Want, Burlesque Against Breast Cancer and Climate Camp - to aid those charities.
