Peat-Fest is RE-PEAT’s unique festival celebrating all things peaty, building community around peatlands through events of peatland learning and fun!
As of 2024, we are bringing Peat-Fest off the screen and out to a peatland near you. Our vision is of a network of locally-led Peat-Fest ‘stages’ and ‘tents’ dedicated to different local peatlands dotted around the UK and Europe. In this way, Peat-Fest will expand its impact by focussing on connecting people with particular peatlands in their landscape and supporting local young leaders to take action in their communities. As a Peat-Fest stage, an event can be supported by RE-PEAT in a broad and flexible capacity depending on the needs of local organisers.

PEAT-FEST 2020 - 2021 -2022
Over the course of three years, Peat-Fest was (mostly) An online festival where people from around the world came together in a playful, creative atmosphere. Peatlands easily risk being restricted to the technical realm of science or policy, creating barriers for community participation and missing out on the opportunity for transformative peatland relationships to emerge. Whether artists, scientists, politicians, community organisers, those already knee-deep in the peat and those yet to take the plunge, at Peat-Fest everyone was welcome.
