The Ragged Hedge Fair is a country fair with a difference, held on a scenic site not far from The Organic Farm Shop near Cirencester.

It aims to be a small ecologically-orientated family event and includes camping, arts, crafts, environmental education, theatre, and a mix of music from ska to hiphop to alt country on 2 stages.

The confirmed acts include Kasaimasai, Seize The Day, Cosmic Charlies, Souljacker, Los Yanquis, Jodie Jones, Mark Robson, Rat Tash Crew, Majoracle, Blackbart, The Dustmites, Illegitimate Sons of The King, The Wind Whistles, Ska Allstars, Ed Keene, We Killed Rasputin, Mamienco, RSVP, Mariachi el Mexicano, Gasworks Choir, Bern and Isaac, Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, The Hightown Crows, Just to Annoy Ray, Tapan Roy & Donagh Sanfey, Mild Peril, Aimi and Jason, Riz Maslen, Bill Smarme, Phantoms, and Bad Obsession.

There will be no generators on site, and all power will be provided by the wind and sun. There will also be a large Children's Area, a Youth Tent, a Crafts Area for hands on experience, healers, unusual stalls to shop at, organic food and drink, bushcraft training, street theatre, drum workshops, indian classical dance, poetry, performance art, a sculpture trail and even renewably powered internet access.

The festival is trying to achieve their ambitious but achievable goal of zero landfill. They are asking all visitors to minimise waste brought on site, and to remove their own waste on departure. They will recycle cans, plastic, cardboard and paper. All food waste will be composted. There will be no rubbish bins for general waste except for disposable nappies and sanitary waste.

CAMPING
Camping is on the festival site with car parking in an adjoining field. There are compost and portaloo toilets and cold water on tap for drinking and washing.
