Ragged Hedge Fair: colour, music, food, learning and fun
The Ragged Hedge Fair this weekend at Abbey Home Farm near Cirencester was a great event - and as colourful and welcoming as last year. The photos here are to give some idea of the colour and flavour - a wonderful friendly gathering bringing us together for fun, learning, great food, music and more.
The Fair is 100% powered by sun and wind, zero landfill, a kidzone full of fun, panto, magic, crazy bikes, circus skills, juggling and more, a Healing tent area with everything from massage to homeopathy, a meditation tent, the forum with talks on permaculture and more plus great live music including Souljacker (rock) to Seize the 
Day (frontline folk) plus flamenco, country, blues plus plus plus.
Then theres the great food, licensed organic bar and cafes plus shopping - handmade, recycled, fair trade and more - a wild collection of colourful clothes - and as I said last year - and was 
quoted on the Ragged Hedge Fair website, the event was "completely free of corporate commercialism."
Hey I haven't even mentioned the walks around the farm, the stalls from groups like One Tonners and Vision 21 or the camping areas or the loos....

Very nice to have a message on my answer phone today thanking me for this blog from Abbey Home Farm - and also a request from the SW Green party to write up a short piece for their newsletter - heres what I scrawled:
The legendary Ragged Hedge Fair at Abbey Home Farm near Cirencester (30th Aug to 2nd Sept) was back for it's second year after a 10 year break. The colourful site was a wonderfully friendly gathering, bringing us together for fun, learning, great food, great music (many local bands plus Seize the Day, Souljacker and more), camping, a kidzone with circus skills and panto, meditation and a healing tent area - plus it was zero landfill with a horse and cart to collect the recycling and a 100% powered by sun and wind - including the music. It was completely and wonderfully free of corporate commercialism - a rare treat in these days when it is hard to go anywhere without being assaulted by ads and corporate products. Great stuff - Philip
