Join us for an afternoon of film and creative collaboration at Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema. 

We’ll start by watching a short film — Into the Soil — a 30min documentary film that follows Brigid LeFevre who runs the community supported agriculture operation ”Förädlad” in Järna, Sweden. 

After the screening, you’ll take part in a hands-on 2.5-hour workshop where we’ll explore how to reconnect people with farms in Nottinghamshire. Whether you’ve volunteered on a farm before or are just curious about climate, community, and land — this is for you. 


Workshop: "Bringing People Back to the Farm" 
This participatory research workshop is part of a local project exploring how to make community and regenerative farms more accessible, welcoming, and fulfilling for volunteers.

Together, we will:
- Reflect on what makes volunteering meaningful
- Explore the emotional and practical barriers to getting involved
- Co-create ideas for new kinds of volunteer experiences
- Use storytelling, collage, and prompts to imagine what a dream community-farm programme could look like

Who can join?
Participants must be 18+ and live in Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire, with an interest in farming, food growing, nature, or volunteering. No experience needed — just curiosity and willingness to share.

Limited to 16 participants
All participants will receive a £25 thank-you for their time (tickets cost £5, so you receive £20 net).


This event is part of a research study in collaboration with Grange Farm, Loughborough University, and Nottingham Trent University.
