Not only will the impact of climate change on the countryside, farming, ecology/biodiversity and our rural communies as we know it be in focus, but also practical solutions for people to make effective changes to how they live.
The event is run by the Wiggonholt Association which was founded in 1996 when the beautiful unspoilt area of Wiggonholt was threatened with a 30-acre sandpit and local residents responded by forming the Wiggonholt Association in opposition.

After winning a long and costly battle against the proposal, its members decided to widen the Association’s activity and it is now an influential champion of the West Sussex countryside, rural life and the natural environment of our planet.

In 2009 the Association was granted charitable status in recognition of the public benefit of its work.
