the social society& friends

A one-day festival for good people doing good things.

19th September 2025
Crockstead Fields, Eastbourne Road, Halland, BN8 6PT
A small field. A big heart.

We’re gathering. Not everyone - just the right people.
 People who want to slow down, connect deeply, and do something meaningful.

There’ll be food, fire, music, art, and conversation but more than that, there’ll be space:

To listen. To give back. To feel like you belong.
This isn’t a loud, crowded festival.

It’s an intentional day, built by the community, for the community.

Why Now?

Charities are stretched.

Communities are disconnected.

People want to do good - but don’t always know how.


We’re creating a space that makes it easy to connect with purpose and each other.


One day to eat, gather, give back… and keep the spark going.

How It Works

You come for the experience.
Live music, local food, fireside poetry, creative workshops, and small group sessions - all designed to help you slowdown and connect.

You do good while you’re here.
On-the-day micro-volunteering, purpose-led activities, and real-time ways to support local charities.

You keep doing good after.
You’ll get access to The Social Society’s national volunteer community, where we match you with local causes based on your skills, interests, and availability.


No gatekeeping. Just real, useful impact.

What Makes This Different?

Small on purpose.
Tickets are limited so we can prioritisemeaningful moments, not just big crowds.

Access is embedded.
From scent mapping and step-free routes to BSL interpretation, quietzones, and rest spaces - we’ve designed this with inclusion in mind.

Community-led.
Artists, musicians, makers, charities,neighbours - this day is shaped by local people, not just a team in a backoffice.

Who’s It For?

People who want to give back, but on their own terms.


People who value depth over drama.


Artists, doers, dreamers, neighbours, changemakers.


You - if this feels like something you’ve been waiting for.
