Off-Grid – great news, good karma competitions and a gorgeous venue
If you haven’t already checked out the Off Grid website, then do it! Now! (Actually, perhaps best to wait two minutes until you’ve read this blog post, then do it!).
We’re REALLY pleased to announce that Off Grid will be held on the fabulous Fernhill Farm, an operational eco-farm near Cheddar, which has previously hosted some of the best green festivals in the UK. It’s beautiful. Wood-fuelled hot showers already on site. Camping barns available to stay in. And a whole host of eco-facilities for your enjoyment. Yippee!
Once you’re there, why not come to the Off Grid College happening throughout the festival! Included in your ticket price (which is only £55 unwaged, £75 waged!) you’re welcome to participate in a 12-module course that runs over 4 days, covering all the essentials you need to begin the move towards an Off Grid, low impact lifestyle.
