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 didn’t 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.
