With highlights including Gary Lineker, Zarah Sultana, Munya Chawawa, Gary Stevenson and more… ROOM also returned, providing an evolved wellness programme including breathwork, yoga, soundbaths, meditations and more within the area.
Optimism is still a political act.
To think forward is to think positive. Hope is still an action. Small actions can have a big impact.
Silver Hayes returns with the same message in a ever more chaotic and divided world. We firmly believe we don’t have to accept how things are, a better future is still possible, optimism is still a political act and hope itself is resistance and needed now more than ever. When culture wars dominate, and division and polarisation becomes the norm, the time for community, unity and collective resistance becomes vital – we look to foster this at this year’s festival through music, talks and collective joy as an act of resistance.
There is far more that unites us than divides us.
