The Landmatch England team will be on hand to facilitate and share their expertise. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of the team directly at the start of each session. The conversation will begin with landseekers and landowners together in one online room, with the option to break out into separate rooms if there is a desire to do so.
Landseekers…
Are you worried about needing longer term security on the land?
Do you want to check in with other landseekers on their matches?
Are you looking for connections in your area for collaboration?
Would you like to discuss the challenges of moving to a new area?
Landowners…
Are you puzzled by how to proceed?
Want to discuss how to be equitable with your land share?
Need reassurance?
Want to hear how others are sharing their land?
These are just some of the many questions that you might bring to the session and if you just want to come and be part of the conversation then you are more than welcome.

Groundswell Festival will take place this year from the 1st to the 2nd of July at Lannock Manor Farm, Hertfordshire.
We’ll be hosting our Landmatching in Practice session on Wednesday at 2 pm in the Magic Teapot space – do come along if you can.
Packed with discussions and demonstrations about regenerative farming, Groundswell is a platform for farmers, growers, and anyone interested in food production and the environment.
We will be manning a stand at the Agroecology Tent (A53–A55) throughout the festival, alongside our partners the Community Supported Agriculture Network UK (CSAN) and The Landworkers’ Alliance, as well as Ecological Land Cooperative, The UK Fruit & Veg Coalition, and Organic Growers Alliance.
We’d love to see you at the stand to say hello, answer your questions, and discuss your experience with Landmatch England so far.
