Browse upcoming and past community events including training courses, film screenings, and workshops focused on sustainable building and gardening.

Our events bring the community together around shared goals of sustainability and resilience. From film screenings that explore our relationship with the planet to hands-on workshops in green building and gardening, each gathering is an opportunity to learn, connect, and take meaningful action. These are not passive affairs; they are spaces where neighbours become collaborators, where ideas spark new projects, and where the transition to a low-carbon life feels possible and even joyful. Whether you are a long-time resident or new to the area, you will find a warm welcome and a chance to contribute.

Film nights are a staple of our calendar, offering a window into the global crisis and the extraordinary lives of those working for change. Documentaries featuring astronauts, scientists, poets, and teachers remind us of the undeniable truth that we are all connected. These screenings often include discussion sessions where we can shift our perspective, reconsider our habits, and rethink our relationship with the natural world. It is a poetic and humbling experience that leaves attendees feeling both informed and inspired to act locally.

Practical workshops in sustainable building and gardening form another key strand of our programme. Participants have the chance to learn about natural materials, energy efficiency, and food growing in a supportive, hands-on environment. These sessions demystify the skills needed to retrofit homes, cultivate organic vegetables, and reduce carbon footprints. By sharing knowledge and working side by side, we build not only greener homes and gardens but also stronger social ties. The emphasis is always on achievable steps that anyone can take, regardless of experience.

Our events are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and fun. We often organise social gatherings alongside more formal activities, recognising that community resilience depends on trust and friendship as much as on technical know-how. Potlucks, bike rides, and seasonal celebrations create space for informal connection and shared joy. These lighter moments are essential to sustaining momentum over the long haul. They remind us that the transition to a low-carbon future is not about sacrifice alone; it is about creating a richer, more connected way of living together in this village.
