Seed Festival – Planting Big Ideas 

An Ecology & Arts Festival at Hawkwood, Stroud. 


In its third year these big ideas are now taking root, a place to dig deep and get real. It’s a festival with a strong intention, a conference in a field of dreams. We are redesigning reality, creating the blueprint for a world that thrives with nature. Hawkwood's beautiful setting with its biodynamic farm, country house, natural spring, gorgeous grounds and woodlands allow people to relax and be nourished in nature.

Plus up-and-coming ‘Millennials.’ hear voice of youth on Activism, Permaculture, Nature Connection, GMO, Soil and Money.

Loads of workshops plus performances from Rising Appalachia USA Matt Harvey, Ganda Boys, AMJ Collective, Three acres and a Cow, plus Australia’s Formidable Vegetables and much more.
