VEGAN delights, homegrown musical talent, and ‘green’ lectures provided food for the mind, body and soul at last weekend’s Unearthed in a Field Festival.

Small enough not to overwhelm, but big enough to offer three days’ worth of activities, workshops and entertainment, this was the not-for-profit community festival’s fourth outing.

Tucked away in the St Davids countryside, the family-friendly festival aims to ‘expand the consciousness from the material to the ethereal’, with a focus on sustainable living, increasing mental and physical flexibility, and throwing a spotlight on alternative food, arts, and therapies.

It also offered a platform for a range of local acts, from promising young musicians such as Rosey Cale and Lucy Jones, to the mature soul sounds of Jasmine Power, folk-pop sensation Jodie Marie, and Bristol-based but Pembrokeshire-raised Regime, whose blend of politics, funk and hip-hop never fails to get everyone jumping.

Sunday’s musical highlights included accomplished jazz from Applejacks; the wacky, wonderful weirdness of multi-instrumentalist Ichi which kept both adults and kids enthralled, and soul-searing harmonies from Barefoot Dance of the Sea.

The children’s tent was a welcome new addition this year and offered activities such as storytelling as well as a medley of toys, dressing up and craft activities to keep curious youngsters entertained.

The tent was close enough to the Speakeasy and workshop tents to keep an eye on the kids while taking part in some grown-up stuff.

Impressive trapeze performances drew gasps from the crowds, who made the most of Saturday's glorious sunshine by picnicking in the centre field.

And indoor events such as talks from Sally Light, Isabelle Lovelock and Steve Thorp provided welcome shelter from Sunday's drizzle.

With its friendly vibe, fun for all ages, and a passion for Mother Earth entwined in every aspect, Unearthed is a little festival with a lot of heart.
