Ferment

Join us for our opening gathering where there will be guided tours of the exhibits, a DJ session on the Great Lawn and tasty fermented food and drink.  The MA Arts and Ecology students will also be presenting an exhibition of work in the Gallery and some other site specific happenings.

Both weekends will offer concerts, family theatre, talks and active food fermentation workshops.  Saturday morning kicks off with Butter Aerobics class outside the Welcome Centre, followed by some hands-on krautchi and sourdough workshops over the two weekends. LAS theatre are bringing their joyful, outdoor performance for families, The Rascally Diner, and we are delighted to be welcoming brilliant singer-songwriter Ana Silvera. During the weekday evenings, the exhibits will remain open until 9pm, and will be accompanied by a special installation of Eclipse, a video and sound installation in the Great Hall which will start after dusk each day.

Dirty Electronics will also be running workshops in schools in Torbay and Newton Abbot throughout the festival.

We hope you’ll come and explore the concoction of arts, technology and fermented food and drink at this year’s Ferment.
