The Tin Village is a self-organising collective of people who share resources, skills and knowledge. Our collective collaborates at festivals and other events to create welcoming, participatory spaces to support experimental micro-communities that explore healthy and sustainable alternatives to a culture of consumerism.

The Tin Village experience is about working together to increase our collective understanding, giving more than we take, having respect for the environment we depend on, and gaining practical experience of useful low-impact life skills.
