Our vision for Coed Ffest is a unique mini festival, a camp style gathering in the beautiful location of Coed, South Wales.
This Summer Solstice ffest (Welsh for fest) will tap into the gifts from the land, sharing knowledge about growing and foraging, learning traditional crafts, restoring vitality through well-being workshops, performing, dancing and simply being together.
From awesome music acts, site specific theatre, poetry, permaculture walks and talks, well-being workshops and amazing food, this festival will bring you the abundance we have to offer.
This gathering is created by the Coed Community who live on site, and the land so lovingly tended over the past 26 years.
This ffest is aiming to showcase sustainable ways of living on and off the land, minimalistic lifestyles, regenerative food culture, and living in harmony with both our human community and ecological community.
This ffest is for those who want something a little bit different, are daring enough to try something new, and are excited about the intersection between where celebration, community and ecology meet.
This gathering is a not-for profit gathering supported by the Ediculture Charity, an educational trust dedicated to providing opportunities and experiences around local food, and increasing the capacity of the local food network.
Ediculture has teamed up with Trees of Hope, a charity working in Zimbabwe in the Domboshava village regions in the Chinamora reserve to help restore the natural forests, educate people about trees, herbs and traditional uses of plants, and create a tree nursery to give out trees for free to the local communities in the region.
All surplus from the festival will go to Ediculture to further the charities aims and objectives. Ediculture team have agreed with Trees of Hope to donate 20% of all profits from the festival to Trees of Hope.
