Report 2025

This is a magical one day environmental fair in a 
beautiful setting on the Somerset Levels run 
entirely by volunteers using wind, sun and muscle 
power. Excellent live music, over 100 stalls 
displaying traditional skills, crafts and 
produce, lively environmental debates, delicious 
organic local food, a variety of the best ales 
and ciders and a large kids area with activities throughout the day.

The Green Scythe Fair includes the celebrated 
West Country Scythe Championship, known far and 
wide for the stupendous and often hilarious feats 
of haymaking by international scythesmen and 
women, who mow a swathe through the summer 
festival scene. It is probably the most 
authentic, and enjoyable, country fair in all England!

As the Green Scythe Fair continues to aim for 
minimal environmental impact, we are asking 
visitors to bring their own reusable plates, cups 
& cutlery to help achieve zero waste created at the event.

This is an environmental event as well as a 
working farm so parking is limited in an effort 
to avoid pollution. We would  encourage you to 
lift share, where possible. More details on our 
<https://www.greenfair.org.uk/getting-there>Getting There page.

Dogs

The Green Scythe Fair venue is in a working farm, 
therefore we would prefer it if you didnt bring 
your dog. Please bear in mind some children and 
adults are scared by dogs, so in a crowded fair 
this can spoil the day for those folks.



This year we are charging  £10 per dog.

However, if you feel the need to bring your dog 
you are expected to assume full responsibility 
for the dog at all times and to read and abide by 
the dog policy 
(<https://www.greenfair.org.uk/dog-policy>see 
here). All dogs must be kept on a short lead at 
all times  this will be monitored by Green Fair 
staff. All dog waste must be picked up and please 
use biodegradable bags so it can be composted 
correctly. If not strictly adhered to you will be 
politely asked to leave with no redress. Guide 
dogs, of course, are very welcome.

The Green Scythe Fair is run by volunteers  we 
take all reasonable steps to make it a safe 
environment, but we cannot be held responsible or 
liable for any loss, damage, theft, illness or 
injury arising at or as a result of the Fair, however caused.



Children remain the responsibility of 
parents/carers at all times; please keep dogs on 
leads. Please report all accidents at once to the staff at the Site Info Tent.

    * Car parking on site (priority areas for 
disabled parking and bicycle parking)
    * Doors open 11am  Car park open from 10am
    * Camping available (see: <https://www.greenfair.org.uk/camping>here)
    * Come by bike to the Fair, reduce your 
carbon footprint and enjoy a 
<https://www.greenfair.org.uk/bike-mots>free bike 
MOT (first come first serve  spaces limited). 
EVs get free charging at the campsite but please book when you arrive.

My Reading List
Some books I have found helpful
Frank Wright
Jun 1
 
 
 
 
 
 
READ IN APP
 
 
 
“There’s more to life than books you know, but not much more”

I have been asked lately to produce a book list, as I talk about books rather a lot.

Here are a few you may not of heard of which I have found have helped me in different ways.
How to order your life

Life is a madhouse these days and it is hard to make sense of it.

This book is the best exegesis of the cause, effects and remedy to the omnicrisis of modern life I have ever read¹.
 
Image result for the church speaks to the modern world gilson
 

If you are not a Catholic, if you are not a Christian, if you do not believe in God - hold your nose and try to read it.

It is the most remarkable summary of the errors in human thinking, morality, economic injustice and the abuse of State power I have seen.

It is the kind of book that educates you far beyond your expectations. It is challenging, but it is only when we try to do what we cannot, without fear of the inevitable failure, that we overcome our vain aversion to humiliation and learn.

As the Modern Church now speaks for and not to the world, have a look at what the Church said to the modern world as its “terrible beauty” was being born in the late 19th Century.
The Mad Cult of Liberalism

John Gray is the supreme critic of the Liberal idea. His “Seven Types of Atheism” isn’t really about that, though it does enumerate (and rather excoriate) what passes for the reflexive rejection of God these days.

Gray shows how an irrational cult belief in utopian progress and its false idols has replaced Christianity in a belief system so enchanting to its believers that they cannot recognise it is one.

A short book which will teach you more than you realised there was to know about the history of ideas.

 
Seven Types of Atheism
 
The Myth of World War Two

The myths of the 20th century have been created to manufacture mass belief in the system which was reinstalled at its end - the liberal system we inhabit today.

AJP Taylor’s neglected Origins of the Second World War says there were no heroes at state level - only villains. His remarkable account of the war will undoubtedly revise your view of it, and what has been made up about it since.
 
Origins of the Second World War (Pelican)
 

I have this edition, which contains an introduction Taylor wrote for later editions. If you read nothing more of it, read that introduction. Stunning.
Practical wisdom

The nature of man is changeless and this is demonstrated in the work of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and his mentor, Epictetus.

These two examples of what is called Stoicisim are full of practical advice at how to become less foolish and remain sane, whilst avoiding becoming a vain buffoon.

I have tried to be less bad for a long time and if you keep trying it works.

The Enchiridion is Epictetus’ “Manual” for life. He talks like a wise uncle you met last week. You will see parts of this and his other thoughts published as his Discourses.
 
 

The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius is a brief and bracing primer on the wisdom of self command. Very helpful in this febrile times, where everything we see is a sort of invitation to go insane for someone else’s profit.
 
Image result for marcus aurelius meditations
 
How to read poetry

The best poet of the 20th century was Ezra Pound, who edited the work of the second best one, TS Eliot.

Pound’s ABC of Reading shows you, very simply, how to understand poetry and what it actually is.
 
ABC of Reading (New Directions Paperbook) (Paperback) - Common
 

He tells you poetry is song, the organisation of words on the page, and the throwing of images upon the mind. Poems are made, he says, and he explains how.

No book I have read has kindled the beauty of poetry in me like this one. A treasure, from a master of the art.
What is civilisation?

The liberal system is a revolution to replace our civilisation. It has failed, but in doing so it has replaced so much of our lives with itself that we struggle to remember what we have lost.
 
[PDF] Civilisation Download by Kenneth Clark
 

Kenneth Clark’s beautifully written and illustrated book is a wonderful account of what it is we have almost forgotten entirely. If you wish to understand the ruins which surround us, what they mean and where they come from, read his “Civilisation”.
The Counter-Revolution

As the rotten and often explicitly Satanic regime dissolves around us, we may wonder what it is we must do next - and how.
 
 

Joseph de Maistre lived through the French Revolution. His work is almost appalling to read these days, as it is the most vociferous and brutal appraisal of the limitations and changeless nature of man I have encountered.

If you read nothing more of his magisterial condemnation of the revolutionary idea and what it destroys in Man - as it falsely promises to liberate him - read his essay on The Executioner.

In a world driven mad by the revolutionary cult, De Maistre’s often hilarious diagnosis of the human condition comes as a profound shock.

Rather like plunging into a cold lake in summer, it is breathtaking to read De Maistre, but you feel electrified afterwards and full of vim. Brilliant.
Beauty Matters

Why beauty matters is a profound question, and the Four Quartets of TS Eliot are full of both.
 
Four Quartets - Eliot, T. S.
 

I would highly recommend Eliot’s poetry, as Prufrock is an almost unbearable portrait of the predicament of modern man - for example. His Notes Towards the Definition of Culture are also outstanding, showing for instance that there is no limit to the depths into which Man may fall if guided by his own designs alone.

My personal favourite is Burnt Norton. It echoes Aristotle, speaks of the Still Point, the landmark of human history that is Christ, and the fact that “human kind cannot bear too much reality”. There is the laughter of children in it, and it will speak to you of the door we did not open in all the time we had.

If you can bear the awesome beauty of the ultimate reality, this is the poem for you.
The Mad Cult of Modern Man

Finally, the most comprehensive account of the insanity of our world today which is found in the Catechism of Modernism of Pope St Pius X.
 
Catechism of Modernism
 

It is about how a religion of mankind has been created, which drives the world mad. It shows who made it, why, and predicted the terrible effects of the institution of a diabolical political cult and its elevation to the status of religion.

No book I have read gives a better account of the deluded limitations of modern philosophy and its disastrous consequences for the human race than this one.

Reading this identified the false idols my education in school and by society had installed in my mind, and it instructed me why they were false with a degree of philosophical rigour I have seldom encountered².

A masterpiece of practical and spiritual wisdom which is an essential guide to the evil system which rules us today. But not for much longer.

I will return to expand My Reading List as I will inevitably remember some gems I have left out, in that privately anguished way we all do after the fact.

I hope you find these as useful to your understanding of your life as I have.
1

I have written a thirteen part series on the nine encyclicals in this book, which is a masterpiece of the example of sanity and justice in the organisation of human affairs, from self to state level. To my mind there is no better blueprint for a political economy which promotes human flourishing than is presented in these pages. And so much more.

You can read my series here.
2

I did a series on this book too. It is extremely difficult if you do not read philosophy, but it is written in a way which will give you an essential education which the liberal system has deliberately deprived you of ever having otherwise. Find some of the best counter-revolutionary ammunition there is within its pages.

Here is a preface to that series which also treats an excellent book on Liberalism.

Part 1: Secrecy Spin & Control Part 2: Tax Exemption & the Royal Slave TradePart 3: Charles' Adultery; Diana's Death & PR Control Freaks
BBC OneWhat's the Monarchy For? - Series 1: Episode 1
Broadcaster David Dimbleby has reported on countless royal occasions – from weddings to funerals and jubilees. But often he feels his role has been to help the palace and the people inside it present themselves as they want to be seen. 
Now, as recent events put the family under the spotlight, Dimbleby probes politicians and royal insiders on fundamental questions about the institution at the heart of our national life. 
In this episode, we are told the monarch is politically neutral and would never influence the running of the country – but is that really true? How much power does the king or queen really have? And in a world where political leaders are continuingly under attack, what role is there for our unelected head of state? 
Featuring interviews with royal insiders alongside political players such as David Cameron and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

What's the Monarchy For?Series 1: Episode 2
Over the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the Windsors amassed extraordinary private wealth without us really noticing. How did they do it? 
David Dimbleby shines a light on the secrets of royal money, revealing how Charles became the first billionaire to take the throne. 
>From tax exemptions to lobbying government, we discover how Queen Elizabeth II oversaw the most lucrative change to royal funding in two centuries. 
David puts George Osborne in the hot seat to answer why the monarchy costs the taxpayer more than ever before and asks: is it worth the public cost?

BBC OneWhat's the Monarchy For? - Series 1: Episode 3Contains some strong language.
For a king or queen, what really matters is the impression they make on their subjects – their image – and whatever they can do to burnish it helps ensure the monarchy’s survival. In this film, David Dimbleby questions his role as a royal commentator over the years, as well as that of broadcasters, including the BBC. 
He’s joined by interviewees, including journalist Ian Hislop, royal aides and palace insiders, to trace the moments when the Windsors lost control of their image and asks how far they were willing to go to get the press and the public back on side. 
As the glare of public scrutiny on some family members intensifies – while others bask in the warm glow of positive coverage – what changes must the family make in order to survive?

The list began eight weeks prior to the 350th anniversary of The Diggers. They occupied land at the end of the English Civil war with a noble mission to make the earth 'a common treasury for all'. In the spring of 1999 there were celebrations to remember the Diggers vision and their contribution to human freedom and what we now call social justice.

Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
