Worthy Earth Festival is a celebration of local food, community and music.

With folk and dance music from around the world, practical craft workshops and regenerative ideas.

What is Worthy Earth?

We are a growing collective of regenerative market gardens in Hampshire & Oxfordshire. Our mission is to create local abundance and to rebuild communities around food.

Each year we put this vision into a festival, located on the rolling hills over our Dummer Market Garden for an alternative offering of quality music sourced locally and from around the globe.
