The Left Side

A place to flex your creativity

Pick up a paintbrush and get stuck into our giant mural project, which will run over the weekend before being assembled for all to admire. Or pop in and visit our lovely partners at The Pearl Exchange, a Bude-based organisation that gives young people aged 18-35 a chance  to connect, create and discover while accessing support for their mental health and future decisions. They’ll have yoga, and a series of creative workshops running all weekend. Get stuck in, and find out more about what they do. 

THE PEARL EXCHANGE

Leo x The Pearl Exchange? It just WORKS! We share values, interests, vibes in general, ambitions, friends and a strong love for busting out our best moves in epic festival style. 

The amazing crew at The Pearl Exchange will be taking over an area in our main arena, having test run it at their Leo debut in 2022. 

They’re bringing an array of fun and creative workshops with them, so come and stretch out with some morning hangover yoga (yes please), learn a new creative skill, find out more about what they do, or just chill out in their welcoming space and listen to some of their DJs spinning groovy tunes. There’ll be leather stamping, stone carving, screenprinting and more, along with dancing, DJs and an excellent vibe. 

Before the festival weekend we’re also running a volunteer scheme alongside The Pearl Exchange, which we introduced last year. We’ll have volunteer places across site decor and marketing.

If you’ve not come across The Pearl Exchange yet, you definitely need to check them out. Based in Bude, they aim to create, nurture and inspire. Aimed at 18-35 year olds, they offer a chance to connect, create and discover while accessing support for their mental health and future life decisions. ALL THE GOOD THINGS! 

We know plenty of you stopped by and showed them some love last year. We can’t wait to have them back.
