Sharpham Park & Kilver Court would like to invite you to Feastival – an event designed to inspire people (both young & old) to embrace a sustainable way of life

Where?

Set in the beautiful grounds of Kilver Court, Feastival will be an interactive and fun event for all, aiming to raise awareness of sustainable ‘farm to fork living’ and the charities involved – Slow Food, Food for Life Partnership, RHS Campaign for School Gardening, the Soil Association and Somerset Wildlife.

Green Fingers & Family Fun

Within the grounds, Sharpham Park will be donating an area for a local school or community project to grow their own organic vegetables. We’ve also lined up talks about the environment, local wildlife and how to grow your own veg using organic rotation, along with ‘Waitrose Sow, Grow, Cook, Eat’ initiative – an interactive area for children, linked to their sponsorship of the RHS Campaign for School Gardening.

Beautifully Green

Some of our country’s top beauty experts will be to hand, helping you discover how to live, feel and look healthy and beautiful in a more sustainable, eco-friendly way. Jo Fairley and Sarah Stacey, authors of the ‘Green Beauty Bible’ will be holding a forum titled “10 Ways to Be Naturally Gorgeous” with a team of experts, including Jane Clarke, Britain’s most respected nutritionist, Monty Saul ex-model turned complementary practitioner and yoga guru Liz Lark.

Further forums will include talks on the Environment with Tristram Stuart, author of ‘Waste:Uncovering the Global Food Scandal’ and Graham Harvey author of ‘The Carbon Fields’, as well as other hot topics with Patrick Holden Director of the Soil Association and Masterchef winner, Thomasina Miers to name but a few!
