Held in a beautiful wild green space in the heart of Manchester—easily accessible by public transport—that's threatened by destruction by plans to build unaffordable housing.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come for the whole weekend or just a day. There will be camping on the site so please bring your own camping kit if you have it (if not, fill out the form below to let us know, we’ll see what we can do to help). Food will be provided in some capacity, and while we are working on it being free for everyone, there is a possibility you may have to pay for the evening meal, so please bring some money (again, if you can’t then let us know in the form below).

If you want to deliver a talk or workshop, get in touch with us at xrnw.training@gmail.com

To let us know you’re coming and so we can accommodate you with any additional needs, please fill in this form.

Tell your mates, bring them down, see you there!!
