Visit the craft village: five tipis where you can work with wool, willow, wood & other natural materials and rural crafts. Local storytellers Michael and Wendy Dacre will be weaving magic around the fireside with seasonal tales and asking for help to tame their two giant dragons to dance the change of the seasons. Traditional games all day, ending in tug of war; plus home-grown organic food; live music, a threshing demonstration in fine weather; live moths; live entertainment; woodland and orchard trails; tours; inspiring talks; stalls & fresh produce and a chance to explore this beautiful 50 acre site in the Teign valley and learn more about Embercombe's work.
Try your hand at apple pressing; bring your own apples and plastic bottles and take home freshly-pressed apple juice; Embercombe cider at the bar; sizzling organic pizzas from the outdoor clay ovens; wild venison and veggie BBQ; Café with hot potatoes, fresh salads, cakes, teas & toffee apples; wild food from the fireside including pumpkin soup and waffles!
Bring your own pumpkins for the competition and your camera – your snap of the day may be on Reconnect magazine's next front cover! Take a tractor ride; listen to stories around the fire or visit Juno natural parenting magazine's tent. In Centrefire Hall, Natural Nomads will be holding a sale of fair-traded ethical clothing and accessories. Wet weather cover provided - so don't let your enthusiasm be dampened by the weather!
