Green Fayre at the Workhouse

As part of the BBC Wales Green season, there will be a film crew present at the Green Fayre event recording footage for a green lifestyles documentary. The Workhouse and project partners Sector39 are really pleased and excited to be working with Presentable TV and hope you will all be tuning in in November when it goes to air.

The Workhouse is hosting a film crew and subjects for a 10 day period and the Green Fayre will form a significant part of the back drop for  the programme.  We have been working closely with the editorial team to ensure the resulting 6 part series conveys an accurate picture of the Workhouse project as well as the environmental principles it embodies.

They are particularly interested in the crafts, and doing side of things, as well as some of the characters and personalities involved with the project and making it all happen and want to portray what is going on there in a positive and constructive light.

We really hope noone will be put off by their presence and assure that they have no intention other than making a genuinely interesting programme set amongst the creativity and inventiveness of the Workhouse community. If you do not want to be filmed in anyway please make your self known to us and we will be happy to ensure that you are not.

I’ve led workshops at Glastonbury Festival, The Big Green (when it happens!), Buddhafield Festival and Dance Camp Wales, as well as teaching community choirs…. the more the merrier! anynumber can attend Bee’s singing workshops… they are fun and uplifting experiences. Please come along and enjoy singing with us at the Green Fayre!

We are pleased to link up with the ABSURD.co.uk, The alternative culture magazine for North Wales. First for news on spoken word, music, art, poetry, literature, philosophy, theatre and live events. They are helping put together some spoken word and poetry performances at the GF weekend, and there are still openings for more involvement… get in touch..

The last twenty years as a poet, singer/songwriter, comedian, and tree impressionist have established Rory Motion as one of the most popular and innovative performers on the national circuit and he will be gracing us with his presence on the Friday night of the Green Fayre. He will be joined by our resident trad musicians for a night of poetry, song and laughter.

Tickets are only £4 on the door.

Ever popular Circus performers and workshop leaders from Anglesey will be here at the  Green Fayre, this time they will be offering workshops in making your circus equipment. Creative fun for all and a chance to learn a new skill.

On the saturday we are also delighted to announce we have workshop facilitators and performers F.L.A.M.E.  already mentioned below, who will also be offering workshops in juggling, diablo, hooping and other practical fun skills like that. Saturday night they will be showing us how to do it.. with their own fire show set to music as a highlight of the evening.

If you dont know what a pole lathe is then this could be your chance to find out! This one is especially aimed at children and its a great chance to have a go at this ancient woodland craft. We are excited to have confirmed in place this really great, practical and insipiring workshop, and they will plento of opportunity over the weekend for young people to try their hand and this wood working technique.

There are still a small number of spaces for people to run Workshops over the weekend so if you have a particular craft or skill that you would like to share with the lovely folk that’ll be attending then please send a short proposal to info@green-fayre.org

We’re open to all sorts of suggestions but it needs to be low impact and well organised.

We look forward to hearing from you.
