EAT UK celebrates high summer in the green hills of western England. This is a space for activists to take time out and reconnect with the Earth and each other.

Location: Ragmans Lane Farm is 60 acres by the river Wye, in the forest of Dean. Run for the past 12 years as a working permaculture farm, Ragmans boasts a fine pond for summer swimming, solar electricity, two greenhouses/conservatories, a fire pit, a solar shower, and even a hot tub!

The accommodation is clean and comfortable but quite basic. Students have a choice of staying either in a bunkhouse or camping out. Sleeping bags or bedding are needed in any case.

There are three small dorms, including a beautifully converted 400-year-old timber-framed barn. The barn also holds the indoor dining room. Nearby is a small, flat camping area. Bring your own tent. Camping in a truck or van may be possible, but please talk to us first, as it must be approved by Ragmans' staff. No dogs are allowed on site. We do not have creche facilities, as we will be working from 9:00 am to
9:00 pm most days fairly intensively. If you would like instead to stay in a nearby B&B (at extra cost) let us know and we can give you details.

You can see more of Ragmans Lane Farm by visiting their web site: www.ragmans.co.uk

Meals: Meals will be very yummy, mostly vegan but some vegetarian food. We will be able to cater for gluten free/other special diets if you tell us in advance. Food will also be organic as far as possible. As the course is so intense we will not be asking you to do too much in the way of washing up, etc., but we will ask you to keep the space tidy, and to help us to clear up on the last day of the course.

Please note that both the cost and the registration process for EAT UK are different than EAT US, and are sent to a different address.
