Why?
Don’t miss out! We are making hemp information freely accessible for all. Time is precious when it comes to reshaping the way we look after the earth and ourselves. Hemp has a huge role to play in many areas of our lives from health, farming, non-fossil fuel based materials and eco-restoration. Here, we create change for people, community & planet.
Where?
Hempen, Path Hill Farm, Path Hill, Oxfordshire, RG8 7RE. Hempen is located on the beautiful organic community of Hardwick Estate. We are nestled at the end of a farm track that leads on into the beautiful woodlands. Our farm is made up of a small cottage, gardens, polytunnel, large agricultural barn and business premises that produce our organic hemp & CBD products.
The Hemp Fair 2024 Rideshare Doc
Please fill your vehicles up and make the trip worth it for the environment. It’s also a great way to help others get out into the sticks if they don’t have a vehicle, it’s a wonderful way to make friends, and it’s better for our soils as fewer vehicles means less soil compaction. Wins all round.

Phenomenal time at Hempen’s hemp fair! The event brought together a wonderful community unified by their love for hemp. The products were both organic, and authentic, a rarity in today’s world. The fair was educational, with insightful knowledge sharing and interesting workshops, promoting well-being, creativity and the natural world. The ramshackle band had us dancing all night. I’m eagerly looking forward to next year’s fair. It was a unique experience celebrating the power of hemp and being part of such a vibrant and passionate community. Don’t miss out on this incredible event!

The educational aspect of the fair was equally impressive. Knowledge sharing was at the heart of the event, and I learned so much about the many uses and benefits of hemp. Hempen had put together a fantastic lineup of speakers and workshops that left me feeling not only entertained but also much more informed.
Hempen’s hemp fair prioritised the health and happiness of its attendees. From yoga sessions in the serene countryside to breathe workshops, there were plenty of opportunities to nourish both the body and the soul.
And let’s not forget about the food and fun! The fair was filled with laughter, music, and a fantastic ramshackle band that had everyone dancing the night away. It was a reminder of how important it is to celebrate life with like-minded individuals. It was an unforgettable experience that left me eagerly anticipating next year’s event. It was a beautiful celebration of community, authenticity, education, wellbeing, and pure fun. I can’t thank Hempen enough for creating such a magical weekend, and I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to attend the fair in the future. It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

I stumbled upon Hempen Organic nearly a year ago, right when I began using their amazing organic CBD oils to alleviate my anxiety. As a newcomer to the UK, navigating the challenges of establishing a life in a culturally distinct country, I initially felt incredibly fortunate to discover a local organic CBD provider to assist me. Little did I know, the advantages would far exceed the mere use of their products. I can say with utmost sincerity that Hempen Organic has truly been a life-altering experience for me here in England. Hempen Organic isn’t just about bolstering health through their offerings; they’re a community deeply devoted to enhancing the well-being of both people and the land. Since May of last year, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with them, and little by little becoming a part of their community. Witnessing the potency of building a robust hemp-centric community, cultivated with such ethical and regenerative practices, has been nothing short of extraordinary. For me, it’s a genuine antidote to social isolation, a platform for skill-sharing, an empowerment hub for the local community, and a means to draw closer to nature, which infuses my life with purpose and meaning. I’m truly touched by the incredible work these people have been doing, and I hope my words can do justice to the depth of my gratitude. If you haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know them yet, I urge you not to miss out on this opportunity to witness their extraordinary efforts firsthand.
Bless,
