The non-profit, volunteer-run venture offers art and music with an environmental and campaigning edge. It began in 2003 and evolved out of grassroots anti-war protests – it was first held on Devonshire Green, then had stints at Endcliffe Park and the General Cemetery before settling in the Ponderosa park in Upperthorpe from 2008 onwards.
While the organisers focus on 2021’s edition, here are 10 pictures from the archive of past festivals.
