Vegan Organic Fest 2021 Cornwall

The Vegan Organic Fest 2021 is going ahead and are looking forward to a fun, entertaining and thought provoking back to nature veganic event.

The Vegan Organic Fest will be at Chyan Cultural Centre; an eleven acre site deep in the Cornish countryside with a capacity of about 200 people, camping facilities, on site hostel and nearby alternative accommodation.

Chyan is an off grid veganic apple farm with its own supply of spring water. The venue hosts many events and is a wonderful place for returning to nature, some of the land is wild, some is nature reserve and there is plenty of flat meadow for camping. Chyan has a 200-seater geodesic dome theatre, two large modern barns for classes plus several marquees. The centre has its own wind turbine, which provides electricity for the whole site, the hot showers, swimming pool and sauna are all fed by natural spring water. We are blessed to be able to hold the festival in such a beautiful, peaceful and positive space. https://chyan.org/.

The event is from midday on Thursday 12th August-Monday 16th August with activities happening from Friday-Sunday.

No dogs allowed.

Nature and nurture in Downham: a guided nature walk
2021-05-22 10:30 - 12:30 | Goldsmiths Community Centre, Castillon Road, Catford, SE6 1QD, United Kingdom
This walk starts at Goldsmiths Community Centre in Downham, Lewisham and ends in Beckenham Place Park, southeast London’s largest park.

Along the way, participants will be encouraged to look closely at their surroundings, to observe the nature that can easily get missed as we dash from place to place.

Theresa Web, the walk leader, is experienced at leading nature walks and is a seasoned medicinal plant urban forager. She will offer information along the way on the medicinal and wellbeing uses of different plants and trees that are encountered.

This area of southeast London is often off people’s radar. It is largely residential and is wonderfully green. This two hour guided walk will be an opportunity to get off the beaten track and be reminded just how we can benefit from being in and observing nature, even when living in urban environments.

The walk is suitable for all ages, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Booking essential as numbers limited.

About your guide: Theresa Webb is a Nutritional Therapist, Raw Vegan Chef and Chocolatier, and London National Park City Ranger. Theresa has experience of leading nature walks across London and further afield, and has a wealth of knowledge on all things nutrition and medicinal plant-related, including the impact that local and seasonal plants have on our wellbeing.

This event is part of the Urban Tree Festival 2021. Taking place 15th – 23rd May, the festival will celebrate our urban trees through art, literature, theatre, online talks, webinars, workshops, tree walks, music and well-being. Events are taking place in London and beyond, many of which are online so you can enjoy them from the comfort of your home. We would love for you to join us!
