Tribal Earth Festival
Laughton Lodge hosts Tribal Earth Summer Gathering each year, where all profits go to a street homeless charity in Brighton.
Tribal Earth is a wonderful experience; four very special days of family entertainment, workshops, camping, music and community spirit.
It’s one of the smaller festivals but is packed with things to do for around 500 lucky people.
