Description
We are a live music organisation running pop up gatherings in beautiful and unusual places. We are based in the stunning county of Somerset and support original musicians and music projects through funds raised at our quirky food, folk club and festival events. We are a non profit organisiation. I have a small holding near my house where we hope to run gardening and music workshops and I am also involved with an organic vegetable community farm near Glastonbury.
I am developing my own gardens and accommodation in order to host more workaways and musicians for residencies.

Festival volunteers will be involved in all aspects of running the event, setting up the site, meeting and greeting camping families and helping them find our secluded camping spots and helping with the take down and tidying of the site after the event.
In winter, we need help to run our folk clubs- tasks include online publicity, cooking.
