Belper's Seedy Sunday 2026: Seed Swap & Permaculture Fest

An upcoming event, "Seedy Sunday 2026," is scheduled to take place on January 25, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event will be held at Belper Community Hall, located at Bridge Street, Belper, DE56 1BA, United Kingdom.

Attendees are required to book their participation in advance. The cost for the event is offered on a sliding scale, allowing individuals to choose a ticket price of £10, £15, or £20, based on what they feel is appropriate for their circumstances. For those who might find the cost prohibitive, there is an option to email the organizers to request a discounted place.

Each ticket includes several benefits designed to enhance the participant's experience. These include access to a seed-swapping session facilitated by the Belper community seed bank, where individuals can bring their own seeds to exchange for others. Additionally, every attendee will receive a pack of perennial edible plant seeds provided by Earthed Up! To nourish participants, the event will also offer hot, plant-based soup made from local ingredients, accompanied by freshly baked local bread.

The agenda for Seedy Sunday 2026 is structured to be both interactive and educational. The morning segment will primarily focus on the communal seed-swapping activity. Following this, there will be discussions centered on various important topics related to seeds and local food systems. These discussions will cover the significance of saving seeds, the concept of seed sovereignty, and the future prospects of local food cultivation. The event will conclude with a shared lunch, providing an opportunity for further informal learning and networking about seed swapping practices.

The primary contact for the event is via email at hello@earthedup.com. Further comprehensive details about Seedy Sunday can be found on the Earthed Up! website. The event aims to foster community engagement around sustainable practices, promote biodiversity through seed exchange, and educate participants on the vital role of seed saving in local food resilience.
