About NonStuff industries

NonStuff Industries is a Social Enterprise with the following aims :

• To organise music and sustainability festivals and events

Like many, our ideal future is a truly sustainable society.
However, we’re interested in a truly sustainable society that is also having a good time, because “If it’s not fun, it’s not sustainable” (Guy Dauncey).

 

DIY NonStuff

Are you interested in running your own NonStuff event?

If you

1) Use the NonStuff event principles (see below).

2) Have been to a NonStuff event.

and

3) Do not clash in time or space with an existing NonStuff event

Then you can appear on the NonStuff website as an official event, use the NonStuff logo and feature in the mail-outs. We can also provide some help and tips with organising your event.

The NonStuff Event Principles are:

1) Participatory workshops including permaculture and sustainability, foraging, crafts, music, singing, dancing etc.
2) Unamplified performances of all varieties.
3) Games and activities i.e. table tennis, hill walking, volley ball, tiddlywinks.
4) Low technology – high imagination.
5) If it’s not fun, it’s not sustainable.
