Stuart Mason concluded, "Out of the Ordinary Festival is a snapshot of how people could live together in a sustainable way. It's a chance for the family to come together and learn something out of the ordinary at one of our fascinating talks or workshops."
"The festival is staged around a modern stone circle that is being built and aligned to the heavens as a working observatory. The main event is sunrise from the centre of the circle along the equinox alignment, it is a transformational experience. Of course we have first class music on solar powered stages, a green ethical market supporting local businesses, healing fields, cabaret, circus, yoga, comedy, performance and dance to enjoy."
