This event first began in 1978—40 years ago! We are hugely proud that we have made it to this milestone and are so excited for the many more to come. We are very much the same as the very first event, we still believe in the same values of peace, compassion and understanding—we just have a few more stalls and many more visitors! The event has always been volunteer run with people with day jobs giving up their time to plan and run the event and we cannot begin to thank every director, committee member and weekend volunteer enough! Without these people the event would not have reached 40 years. We believe peace is achieved primarily through understanding and compassion for all, regardless of religion or belief, age, gender, race and sexual orientation. We give our amazing stallholders the platform to inform us all on how to begin to achieve peace whether this be through buying fair trade goods or becoming an activist.
This year at the festival we ask you all to be kind. Be kind to one another, equally to your families and to strangers you have never met. If you don’t know how to start then help us and your local area by donating tinned food at our food donation point for the Leamington and Warwick Foodbank at the Information desk. We hope that you have loved coming to the event as much as we love bringing it to you. We hope that you will come every year and maybe even get involved running the event one day! We are entirely volunteer led and are always looking for new committee members. If you are interested in performing, volunteering or having a stall please like our Facebook page or visit our website. Thank you all for your support! Contents: Festival Aims & Info Get Involved Workshops—Saturday and Sunday
The Festival would like to thank: Emma Owens, our cover competition winner! All of our stallholders, many of whom have been coming for over 20 years! Workshop leaders, children’s entertainers, performers and speakers, the majority of whom have given their time for free. Our amazing volunteers who have worked so hard this weekend to ensure the smooth running of the event. The Committee who are all volunteers who have worked for many months to bring this fantastic event to you and without these the event could not run. Warwick District Council for their continued support. Finally, YOU who make the event come alive and without whom, the event would not be worth running.

In 1868 the Pump Room Gardens (first laid out in 1814), together with the Royal Pump Rooms, were bought by the Local Board of Health. The gardens became a ‘people’s recreation ground’ with free access for everyone. The present bandstand was built just 14 years later and has been showing its age! We hope the present restoration work means the bandstand will be used by all again for many years to come. In the meantime, we'll be recreating the fabulous bandstand vibe on a temporary stage, but with the same great team - massive thanks to Bungle & Paul on sound and Barry Patterson, poet and musician and your MC for the weekend.

Every year we ask artists, campaign and charity groups to give a short talk between acts at the stages around the Festival. At the heart of the Festival ethos is our conviction that we all have the power to make the world a more peaceful and respectful place. There are many different ways to do this; we hope that by listening to the speakers this weekend, visiting the campaigning stalls, participating in the workshops, everyone will find something that empowers and inspires them to actively work towards this. Even if you’ve never thought of yourself as an activist, just listen and you’ll be surprised how much impact just one small act can have.
