Every two years, or thereabout, we come together to enjoy ourselves and to inspire and encourage each other. The whole weekend will be about direct action, peace and environmental issues and campaigning for social and
ecological justice.

WE'LL BLETHER AT...

Talamh Life Centre, an environmental, educational resource centre, on moorland near the M74 in Lanarkshire. Reasonably priced vegan meals will be available (volunteers are needed to help with preparation and cooking in return for a meal ticket), or you can bring your own food and cooking equipment.

Car parking is very limited so cycle, use public transport and please note that the site is unsuitable for live-in vehicles as any wet weather can resulting in getting very stuck!

Do bring warm clothes, a tent, bedding, musical instruments and inspiration!

Cost for the weekend is a donation of £5-£20 depending on your income. Please don't bring dogs.
