Limmudfest08 will take place during the August bank holiday weekend in the beautiful surrounds of the Peak District. LimmudFest combines a unique blend of learning, music and culture resulting in an interactive, accessible and inspiring participative experience. The emphasis of Fest, in the run up to Ellul, is on taking time out of everyday life to reflect on our relationships with ourselves, with other people and with the world around us. It is held in Cliff College in Calver, which allows for both indoor accommodation and camping.

Limmudfest08 runs from Friday 22nd to Monday 25th August. A particular focus of Fest is the environment and tikkun olam, with participants taking part in Tikkun Trek, a pre-Fest adventure which takes place on Thursday 21st August – with cycling, hiking and sessions on spiritual, environmental and social action topics. For the first time this year, there will be a Family Tikkun Trek as well, suitable for children of all ages.

The Limmudfest programme is a lively mix of music, dance, performance, study, prayer, hands-on workshops & film presented by presenters from the UK and abroad.

This year we anticipate about 550 participants from newborns to great-grandparents, across the spectrum of age, interests, culture and religious observance (like all Limmud events, Limmudfest is fully observant of Shabbat and Kashrut in public places).
