Thank you for your interest in being part of the Craft Area at Northern Green Gathering 2024. The event will be held over the weekend of 15th to 18th August at our new site in Wakefield.

NGG is proud of the variety of workshops that have been offered at previous events, from Thai Chi to knitting and even mushroom growing. A range of workshops are included in the price of the ticket so the community can share its knowledge and experience for free. We do appreciate that some workshops require materials for crafting and for some of you this is your main job and way of earning a living, so for those who charge for their workshops there is a pitch fee of 10% of your takings.

You will have free entry into the festival for you and your crew, by crew we mean people who will be working in your area and their children. Any other people will be charged at the public ticket rates unless they would like to volunteer, in which case they must complete the volunteer application form separately to this form. One vehicle pass is included for free and this vehicle may be parked at your stall.

You will be expected to provide your own structure and necessary equipment.

Power Provision - Northern Green Gathering is an off grid Gathering, all the power used on site is sourced from solar and wind providers on site. For this reason we try to minimise energy usage and as such are unable to provide electrical hook ups, we also request that no generators are brought on site. If you do require lighting we would recommend that you run these from leisure batteries, preferably with sustainable charging facilities (e.g. solar panels).

Waste and recycling - Please minimise the amount of non-recyclable packaging that you bring and waste that you produce. Please separate all waste so that landfill items are put in separate bins and recyclable items are put in the appropriate sacks on the site. Please leave your pitch clean at the end without any litter or any bin bags left there, and if you can take home your landfill waste that will be a great help to us.

For health and safety reasons we would request that all structures are erected prior to Noon on Wednesday 14th August, and wherever possible these are not dismantled until Monday 19th August.    
Driving on site after noon on 14th August is restricted, we request that all additional vehicles are parked in the car park unless you have prior agreement to keep them on site. If you do have to go on and off site, we request you leave your car in the car park to permit safe entry and exit.
