Limmudfest is an adventure and a journey, an exploration of the Jewish world and beyond; together we will be walking, learning, dancing, singing, reflecting and more, with presenters from across the world and across the spectrum of religious, cultural and political beliefs. At night time Limmudfest really comes alive with cutting edge performers, DJs, jamming sessions, fancy dress theme parties and a chance to talk to new and old friends in the bar.

Limmudfest offers a range of participatory sessions that will take advantage of the beautiful surrounding countryside: workshops, films, concerts, drumming sessions, text sessions. It is an opportunity to reflect and take time out of everyday life in the run up to Ellul, as we prepare for the high holy days. It's an opportunity for everyone to teach, learn, rest, play, tell stories, explore and to try new things. It is a great chance to meet new people from all walks of life in a gentle, beautiful and inspiring environment.

...and for teenagers?

From social action to socialising, philosophy to football, discussions to dancing, we give you all you need to make your own Fest experience a truly memorable one. Look out for our recommended Youth programmes or just hang out in the Youth area.
