PurposeFest at Belmont Estate

 

PurposeFest Summer Special will be hosted at the stunning Belmont Estate near Bristol on Wednesday 17th July. The main event will run from 4pm to 7pm with a couple of optional workshops starting at 1pm for those who wish to attend.

If the weather is particularly bad, the event will run one week later on 24th July.

 

Reconnecting with nature has huge benefits and these are amplified when sharing it with the amazing PurposeFest community of like-minded people.

There will be walking tours of the estate showcasing the brilliant biodiversity work that the Belmont team have been undertaking. Kids are welcome to come along and be facilitated by the Belmont Estate Education Team (limited spaces).

A BBQ will be provided for all with the option to upgrade to a Better Days Feast.* They prioritize health through food, allowing guests to savour a higher quality of life. They are thrilled to offer a delectable feast of organic, nutritionally balanced seasonal produce to the forward-thinking attendees of PurposeFest. Join them on this exciting journey towards a brighter, healthier tomorrow!

  • The upgrade BBQ featuring lamb reared at Belmont in harmony with nature organic Exmoor Horn sheep enjoy a life of unadulterated grazing on our wildflower meadows, completely unhurried, they will take up to two years to mature and the resulting hogget will have an incredible depth of flavour whilst still being beautifully tender.

    Dry aged in our butchery amongst Himalayan salt blocks for up to 4 weeks the flavour is intensified, and the texture improved before being expertly butchered and packed ready to feed you and your loved ones.

    ‘Bring your Tupperware’ – we don’t want waste so any leftovers will be offered as take away. 

*Enhanced foodies menu / experience (add an extra £20)

Tickets are priced at £20 per session for adults and £10 for children

It is for communicators, founders, teams, agencies, change-makers, decision-makers and those who are curious. Those who want to make a difference but are not sure how.

Those who love a good conversation between the conversations. Somewhere to get yourself out of your day to day mindset and provoke some debate about the difference you can make.

The event will also leave space to network with many people who feel the same and want to be agents of change. As a community, we are working to shape our future for the better.
