The Green Winterfaith Festival
Saturday 5th February, 2.30 – 10 pm
Sunday 6th February, 3 – 8 pm
The Epicentre, West Street, E11
In partnership with Sacred Roots, an organisation working to foster understanding and co-operation between people of different faiths, we have an exciting and varied programme for this two-day event. We have combined Transition’s winter food event with a celebration of food from different cultures, and added music, poetry, story-telling, workshops, stalls and a film: A Farm for the Future.
We have some wonderful speakers, including Polly Higgins, known as ‘The Planet’s Lawyer’, and Jagdeesh Singh from the Sikh Environment Network. Anton Rosenfeld from Garden Organic will talk about growing ‘exotic’ vegetables in the UK. It’s not all carrots and parsnips!
There will be workshops for children and adults, seed-sowing for all, and a chance to learn about different food choices and traditions.
