Off Grid festival is a green gem of a family festival that has grown out of the British grassroots festival movement. Over the last seven years the event has educated and informed thousands of people about the skills and knowledge required to live a low-impact ‘off-grid’ lifestyle.
Off Grid Festival brings together some of the UK’s most progressive thinkers and practical activists in a temporary space where everything is possible. Participants of all ages will engage in an immersive educational experience curated over four packed days of workshops, talks, forum and other practical activities.
At the core of this unique event is the Off Grid College, a 12 module course in practical sustainability, applied permaculture and appropriate technology, featuring some of the UK’s most respected teachers and practitioners in subjects as diverse as eco retro-fitting your home, wild and natural healthcare, forest gardening and DIY energy systems.

Off Grid Festival is a special exploration of community living, creativity and consciousness; creating an intimate environment in which to learn, share skills, trade knowledge, impart wisdom and make a difference. It is a 100% participatory event, self-organised by those that attend.
The four-day festival offers organic, local, food and drink, a family friendly vibe including West-country’s finest storytellers an Off Grid Kids space, along with entertainment and live music. There is also a fantastic crafts area showcasing local and traditional crafts from stone-carving to woodturning, weaving and blacksmithing.
Off Grid organisers are delighted to have found a new home for the event at The Biophilia Project, Exeter set in 96 acres of regenerated meadow and woodland. Biophilia aims to be as ‘off-grid’ and independent as possible, and supports the growth of biodiversity and nurture of the local Biosphere. An enterprise that seeks to define and develops models & steps towards a future in which humanity could live in enriching harmony with nature.

To launch this years festival Off Grid have organised a crowd-funding campaign where tickets can be purchased and people who wish to support the festival can do so. The Lets Make it Happen campaign is looking to raise at least £6000 towards the core costs of producing this special event. With only 300 tickets available, it is advisable to book as early as possible.
All donations over £20 include affiliation with the Off Grid: Biophilia Project. The project will be organising seasonal events each year which includes an Off-Grid Camp, banquets and other special occasions. Affiliates get discounted access to all such events and other benefits.
We all face a challenging environment and many of us are feeling a need to understand how we could best live in harmony with the world around us. Off Grid offers a chance to discover, and re-discover, a way of life that fully embraces our human ecology and our place in a sustainable, low-impact, future. It offers us a model where we can thrive rather than simply survive.
Off Grid is an opportunity to not only learn but to breathe deeply and tread lightly. This summer, join our newly indigenous tribe of builders, growers, healers and storytellers as we celebrate the beginning of an Age of Reunion.
Between August 11th – 14th August this emerging community will open the doors of perception and glimpse Another World…
