Wall Of wonder hand made sign for festival of wonder at st Lawrences church.

The Festival of Wonder is a FREE festival offering a wondrous array of spectacles, activities and spaces designed to engage, enrich and inspire wonder. This year we will explore our understanding of wonder in powerful new ways with the wonder of peace in an age of exhaustion being a central theme. So, whether you enjoy the wonder of the natural world, the wonder of words, imagination, creativity, song or dance we hope you will find something to again brighten, lighten and inspire.

There will be music, aerial and circus performance, workshops, sounds, silence and reflective space, as well as food, warmth and community.

The intention of the Festival of Wonder is to inspire a sense of wonder and hope for the more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible and a refuge from the challenges of our current world.

Visitors to the festival can expect to walk away with a lightness of heart, a smile of their face and just maybe sufficiently inspired to help be a part of creating that more beautiful world of wonder and peace.

When we think we have reached our limit, wonder is the act that returns us to love. Valerie Kaur
