Indeed for the Eco-Homes and the Nature Fesitval will also link with the Food and Drink Festival plus Fringe Festival and Walking Festival. Five Festivals for the Five Valleys! Great stuff and what a great place to live! We are in process of sharing info to put together a festival booklet....lots of exciting stuff like as this is the International Year of the Forest 500 trees will be planted during the Festival (Incl Oak, Maple, Whitebeam, Rowan, Walnut, Hazel, Hawthorn, Blackthorn and others).
Appropriately enough 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust - they will be present at the Festival, to celebrate this milestone - plus a talk by biologist turned conservationist, Ian Redmond, who has dedicated his life to observing and protecting some of the planet's most endangered species, in particular, gorillas and elephants.
Anyway more of all these events in the future but that weekend is looking good for Stroud. In terms of eco-homes I came across a while back the two videos below - worth a watch!
