Dear Wild Spirited Ones
Wild Spirit Woods CIC at Congleton Green Fayre .
“The High Street will be transformed into a vibrant hub of more than 30 stalls, all offering ideas, products, and services to help you live more sustainably. From eco-friendly organisations and local businesses to hands-on experiences in the Repair Café and the Big Clothes Movement, there’s something for everyone. Come along, get inspired, and discover simple ways to make a big difference for our community and our planet.”
In the heart of Congleton Beartown, this has become one of our established calendar events and it’s great hanging out with likeminded people for the day.
We have been very busy behind the scenes this year and we have so much exciting news to share with you. Those of you who come down to see us will be first in the know!
Apologies
There is no getting around this... we have to apologise. We have been rubbish at keeping in touch with you and we absolutely MUST do better. We need to send out some updates on tree planting and we need to send you all regular updates. Frankly we have bitten off way more than we can chew of late and communications across the various platforms have been erratic.
For those of you that followed our Facebook page we got hacked earlier in the year and that's why you won't have seen any updates from there. Thankfully our online Facebook communiTree, Ancient and Sacred Trees of Britain, is still going strong thank goodness! Meanwhile, on the the ground at our home in Wild Spirit Woods, we have lots going on behind the scenes. It's very exciting and we will share more soon. The Congleton Green Fayre 10am til 3pm Saturday 26 September and our Mabon campfire on the Saturday from 6pm are the first in our series of Autumn events.
Green Fayre Wild Spirit Woods CIC Fundraising Stall
We will have the usual gifty bits to raise funds on the day from 10am til 3pm. we will also have a display of the woods and wild spirited happenings. We will be releasing tickets for some upcoming events too.

Mabon Merry Meet Community Campfire
As well as the stall during the day we will have a Mabon Merry Meet community community campfire in the evening from 6pm too. Just £6 per adult and kids free, bring a pizza to chuck in our wood fired pizza oven! Our on the ground home is between Congleton and Biddulph on the Cheshire/Staffordshire Peak district border so we'd love to see you if you live nearby.
It’s going to be a very busy weekend in the woods as we also work on a very special project there over the weekend and you will be able to meet some of the folks involved at our campfire in the evening.
Ancient and Sacred Trees CommuniTree
Meanwhile here are some lovely quotes from our online Ancient and Sacred Trees CommuniTree from which Wild Spirit Woods CIC grew out of:
It’s right that we celebrate trees in all their glory. They’re beautiful, have often seen such history, and are such an important part of our ecosystem Thanks for organising such an uplifting group!

I'm a barefoot tree hugger, who lives swinging in his hammock in the crown of trees, absorbing the energy and giving back love and gratitude for the beautiful sentient beings that they are.

Forest, woods and trees are my sanctuary, the lungs of the world.. calming peaceful and wise. trees are ace
