Lana Labs Exeter Open Day is a full-day community gathering at Gray’s Barn, Goffin Land, just outside Exeter.
The day brings together regeneration, practical invention, local food, community connection, music, dance and an introduction to Lana — a growing culture of conscious participation and better everyday exchange.
The morning begins in the community garden with a live biochar workshop and demonstration by Indrek, who has spent the last four years developing his biochar-making machine. Biochar can support soil health, fertility, growing, carbon storage and local resilience. This practical demonstration will show how simple invention can support land, people and a more regenerative future.
At lunchtime, traditional Hungarian goulash will be served in Gray’s Barn. The goulash is made with beef purchased through Lana from a Lana-aligned regenerative farmer. This meal is part of the story of the day: real food, real exchange, local relationships and community around the table.
In the afternoon, the event continues upstairs in Gray’s Barn with a relaxed Lana gathering. This session is open to Lana members and complete newcomers. It will introduce what Lana is, how people can join, how suppliers and customers can participate, and how Lana Labs Exeter is developing as a local place for conscious exchange, sustainability, community and future-focused ideas.
Lana invites a new relationship with value — one where everyday exchange can support local people, good work, regenerative choices and community connection.
The day finishes with music, dance, cakes and friendly connection from 6pm until 10pm.
