Event
Bioregional Banquet
You are warmly invited to a Bioregional Banquet, a unique evening bringing together farmers, food producers and people from across South Devon working to provide food—for everyone. This is no ordinary banquet marked by indulgence and privilege. It is a celebration for the people of this land and sea; a gathering to honour our place and the hard work of those who care for it.
Cultivating common ground for the future of food
At the heart of this gathering is a shared commitment to climate adaptation and resilience. As the ground shifts beneath us—ecologically, socially, and economically—we come together to find new ways forward. Whether you bring food onto our plates, maintain its vital role in our economy, or (like all of us) eat it and enjoy it, your voice matters in shaping a food system that nourishes both people and planet.
This event is inspired by a Sardinian tradition called La Rasgioni, which offered communities a way to hear different sides of a story over a shared meal. Through storytelling and conversation, we’ll explore the realities and pressures faced by those who care for our land. You’ll enjoy a good meal showcasing the breadth of South Devon’s produce, connect with your neighbours, and hear perspectives from others in the region—some familiar, others less so. Together, we’ll consider where we might find common ground and shared purpose, with the help of a community “judge” and audience facilitators.
We know the work of providing food is changing. Whether you feel that’s for better or worse, your experience matters and we hope you’ll join us to share it.
More details coming soon!
