About the Festival

The festival aims to celebrate the creators here

the farmers who produce food of exceptional flavor, the craftsmen who manufacture with ingenuity and talent, and the artists whose approach is rooted in research and excellence.

Rediscover the taste of a homemade soup

sit on a handmade chair, listen to virtuoso artists in the folklore of their culture, breathe the fresh air surrounded by trees, meet horses and cows, run in the forest and eat its fruits, coexist with nature and his living beings

Érable et Sources is a non-profit organization committed to promoting diversity cultural in the urban and agricultural environment. Having moved to Godmanchester two years ago,the representatives of this company were able to savor the generosity of its inhabitants and their warm welcome to newcomers. They were also able to rediscover the real tastes of terroir by growing fruits and vegetables with their hands on their land. It’s this experience they want to share: a return to the sources, a return to the roots, a back to earth.

More specifically, we want to encourage cultural communities, farmers, artists, artisans, families, the elderly, children, people with reduced mobility and marginalized women. We are targeting a minimum of 1000 visitors for the first edition of the festival.
