Company activities and impact

The CIC organised and ran a community camp in August 2025 at Bridwell Park in Devon for our crew and creative contributors to build deeper personal connections in advance of our 6th public festival in August 2026, plus held monthly meets in London and held two small retreats at the Asha Centre in the Forest of Dean. The community camp was attended by 250 people, with high praise coming through feedback for the positive, healing and community building experience.

Consultation with stakeholders

Many of our community camp attendees collaborated in discussions about the shape of future festivals and completed detailed feedback forms about the camp itself . Team leaders met in person after the camp to set plans for 2026 festival and kept in touch via monthly online meetings and via email to make collective decisions, with the various production areas of the festival each autonomously making decisions as needed.
