Earth First! Summer Gathering 2024
Wednesday 24th July - Monday 29th July
Respect existence or expect resistance!
30th ever EarthFirst! Summer Gathering in the UK!
The summer gathering will take place 24-29th of July on a beautiful apple orchard near Shrewsbury.
Five days of skill-sharing for grassroots ecological direct action – make links, share ideas, and get involved in the struggles against open cast coal, fracking, new roads, HS2, climate criminals and more.
The Earth First! Summer Gathering is the place where people involved in radical ecological direct action – or those who want to be involved – get together for five days of time and space to talk, walk, share skills, learn, play, rant, find out what’s going on, find out what’s next, live outside, strategise, hang out, incite, laugh and conspire.
The workshops, networking and planning of actions at this low impact eco-living camp is organised non-hierarchically. It’s run without leaders by everyone who comes along, so come prepared to chip in!
There will be a kids’ space and programme, more info to follow! If you intend on bringing a dog friend, please let us know beforehand – there is limited space for dogs!
If you have specific accessibility needs please get in touch with us (earthfirstuk [at] riseup.net).
The schedule will be on display and you will be given a printed copy upon arrival. Spoiler alert – it will be amazing.
Veggies Catering Campaign are likely to be helping with the campaign catering.
There will be three meals a day, a cafe space with tea, coffee and cake– but it might be good to bring more bits and bobs if you know you might feel snacky in between meals. We ask everyone to leave a donation if you can (cash only!), but no-one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Collect fliers & posters for the @earthfirst_uk Summer Gathering from Vegges at Glastonbury Green Futures, at the Green Gathering & many other events with Food by Veggies!
