We want to encourage people to engage in the natural environment through education, play and music, and to go a bit wild in Goren Farm’s wild meadow. Our capacity is up to 1500 people and many of our visitors will be fairly local.

We have a Zero Waste policy, in keeping with the farm and festival’s ethos. We ask all vendors to support this by bringing as little packaging as possible and selling your services mindful of this policy.
