Academic/Research Enquiries

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Land Skills Fair 2025

🎫 CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKETS 🎫 

When: 11th – 13th July 2025

10 am Friday – midnight Sunday (closing ceremony 7pm-ish)

Ticket holders are welcome to stay on-site until 10am on Monday 14th July

Where: Crops Not Shops, Picidae Peak Farm, Bradley Stream Road, Ashcott, TA7 9FA (What.three.words: Jigsaw.Bonfires.Youth)

The Land Skills Fair is a beautiful celebration of our movement; a coming-together of our diverse voices and an opportunity to keep proliferating connections in our networks. All of this bound together in the spirit of celebration, joy and communion with the land, and to the sounds of incredible music and in the presence of soul-enriching art.

Grounded in radical politics and practicality, there is space to share skills we’ve learned on the land as well as ways-of-being that we’ve learned from it.

There will be workshops and skill-shares covering farming, forestry, craft, natural building and activism. Alongside this will be spaces open for those discussions around how we build a more equitable society together.

This year’s event is much smaller than in previous years due to being run currently without any funding. The ticket prices have been set so that the festival covers all costs. We hope you will understand that the costs of running the fair are high, but we consider it such an important movement building space that we wanted to try to hold it this year without financial support, to set a precedent, and give it space to grow again. The Landworkers’ Alliance does not make a profit from the event.

This year’s theme is Land Justice and the programme will be organised to give space for workshops and gatherings designed to facilitate greater access to land. This organising is the main focus of the event and it will have a very DIY feel, with plenty of space for self-organised workshops and entertainment.

We will have small but fantastic musical line up, and craft workshops too. Come and sing and dance and play together. We have our fingers crossed for a successful funding bid, which will enable us to develop the arts and cultural aspects of our movement further.

We will be sharing lots more information over the coming weeks as we build up to the Land Skills Fair.

 

Children’s tickets (ages 5 – 14)

All children under the age of 5 are welcome to join for free. Children are so welcome at the Land Skills Fair. There will be plenty for them to enjoy and participate in, with lots of entertainment catering especially for our young ones. We unfortunately have to limit the number of children’s tickets as we cannot generate enough income from their ticket price to cover the offerings for them. We wish we could offer more children’s tickets, but with not much funding for the festival this year this is not possible.
