Another month, another Wordforge! Again the weather behaved for us, and we got to use our yard with the lights on for the first time.

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful performers, wonderful night!

Forge Freecycle (or Forgecycle, or Shift Your S**t) was a great opportunity for people to clear out their cupboards, and also pick up any bits and pieces they might be needing/wanting.

With cost of living being what it is we thought it was a great idea to help those in need, and save perfectly usable stuff from going to landfill.

Given the empty tables at the end of the event I'd say it was a huge success!

Look at all the pretty things we had at this month's EcoForge!

We've started calling this event EcoForge as we realised that permaculture isn't a thing that everyone's heard of. It's primarily about living local, and reduce, reuse, recycle. Everyone supports each other whilst reducing their carbon footprint.

All our EcoForge stallholders are local craftspeople making a variety of wonderful sustainable jewellery, art, toiletries, and all sorts of other wonderful creations :)

We had a wonderful time at our family art day this weekend. We had tie-dying, rock and shell painting, badge making, potato printing, and lots of fun games for the children.

This is the sort of event we'd love to keep doing throughout the winter, so if you have any ideas of a local indoor space where we could decamp when the weather turns then please do give us a shout!

Our second Wordforge event was just as wonderful as the first! Many of the same faces from the first event, with many newcomers too. The weather even agreed to behave for us so we got to enjoy some amazing spoken word performances on a warm summer's evening.

The next Wordforge event will be at 6pm on the 28th of September. Please do come and join us!
