Planet Positive


Planet Positive is the zone to discover our talks tent – Interstellar Ideas, the Art Tent, Making Waves workshop and Charity Super.Mkt along with our super special 2026 Community Catwalk on both days.

The Planet Positive tent houses scientists at the forefront of modern research across the weekend. Our partners from Natural History Museum explore the The Moon and Life on Earth; with Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) bringing their Discovery Zone learn about their research on how the marine environment in the UK is changing and how the moon affects marine migration. Norwich Astronomical Society delve into their displays on various aspects of space science and astronomy. Orsted Kittiwake Hotels will be on hand to tell you about the new offshore habitat (will there be chicks hatched in time for the Festival)?!

Charity Super.MKT, Making Waves, and Community Catwalk
There’s so much in this fast paced tent to see, shop, do and create. We have extra special guest judge Patrick Grant from Sewing Bee with us this year. Want to take part? Apply here!
