This event is being organised by RE-PEAT, a global youth-oriented group raising awareness of issues facing the world’s peatlands.
The Peat Fest will bring together artists, farmers, scientists, policy-makers and young thinkers from around the world, to explore the topic of peatlands from every angle. Some of the guest speakers include writer Robin Crawford, artist Kate Foster, singer/storyteller Sam Lee, the Seamus Heaney Homeplace museum, and co-chair of the European Greens and Member of the European Parliament, Thomas Waitz.
There will be different live and pre-recorded sessions every hour of the 24 hour day.
