Area at Green Gathering Festival that features practical workshops & informative talks to sharpen your arguments & set you on the path to radical activism.
The Campaigns Area is arranged around a garden with plenty of space for dynamic direct action training, networking, practical sessions to set you on the path to radical activism and informative talks to sharpen your arguments. Activists from the movements against fracking, GM crops, nuclear weapons, fox hunting and more rub shoulders with campaigners working in solidarity with migrants and others oppressed by current political and social systems.
THE REPAIR CAFE has had a busy weekend. They have repaired broken watch straps, broken kettles and broken hearts.
Still time for one last challenge.
ACORN Bristol , part of ACORN the union have a stall in our field. They have been doing some great community work in the region. But don't take our word for it, here is Apasra to tell you all bout it.
You can find Scorn in the stalls tent next to the Campaigns tent in the Green Gathering Campaigns area of Green Gathering

LAST DAY ... for now.
We have had an epic weekend so far, we have agitated, educated and organised. We have repaired shoes, learned how to build a solar power station and told 'the man' to shooooo!
We have had fun, we have grown our community and dealt with unforeseen stuff calmly.
We even had a visit from Donald Trump and told him what we thought of his policies through the medium of wet sponges.
But it's not over yet. Today is our 'everything must go' closing down sale. Come and squeeze more stuff in your head, get more inspiration and make more friends.
Below is the schedule in our main spaces, but we have other stuff going on in the field.
If not now, when? If not us, who?
Follow us for updates through the day and through the year.
REPAIR CAFE... What's that all about.
Our Repair Cafe at Green Gathering in the Green Gathering Campaigns area is a bit more down to earth than the BBC thing where they restore your grandmother's prize eyelashes plucker. It's more practical than that... but we will let John explain.
*please note, we no longer offer a DIY dentistry service.

Good morning camp(aign)ers. Hope you had loads of inspiration yesterday. We have another full day of workshops today to feed your heads, hearts and souls. Our line up is listed in the hand crafted, artesian, AI free memes below.
The repair cafe was particularly busy yesterday, repairing P.A. cables, (un)inflatable mattresses and hippies with a bad back.
Watch out for other unscripted events in our 'hood. Follow us for updates.
It will be Saturday night fever tonight, we are going to be having fun, spelt D.I.S.C.O. Yep, it's the Summer of disco in tents. We will be starting with the legendary Women's Space Disco and we might, just might, have some special guests rocking up to play some disco on our open mic. Expect the unexpected. Hope for 'Funky Music', and prepare for 'Oi Mush'.
