Please see the comments below - this year it's not Fruitstock as we know it, but a village fete.
OK, the website isn't up yet, but I've managed to track down the date. This year the brilliant, green music festival Fruitstock is not taking place instead, Innocent Village Fete, takes place on the 4th and 5th August
All reports I heard of it last year were great - not just the music, but the organisation and the whole ethos behind it. They provided more recycling points than bins, lots of bike parking space, planted trees to offset CO2 emissions, made sure all disposables were made from recycled materials ... this is just part of what they did, and of course it is all backed by Innocent, who make great healthy smoothies.
Start date: Sat Aug 04, 2007 00:00 AM
End date: Sun Aug 05, 2007 00:00 AM

OK, I've had the official line from Innocent. Here it is:
This year Fruitstock is taking a little break. In its place we're holding the first ever innocent village fete. It will be in Regent's Park (the usual spot) on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th August.
Sticking with tradition, there will be wonderful food stalls, including home-made cake stands and a farmers market, welly-wanging, coconut shies, fruit and veg competitions, Morris dancers and lots of lovely bunting. We will still be having some great music acts (of all kinds) and some brilliant comedy, but there will be no main stage this time.
There'll be plenty of other fun family activities for kids and grown ups alike, including fancy dress, arts and crafts, places to rest and relax, a knitting tent and of course, lots of space to put down a rug and enjoy a family picnic. There'll be plenty of smoothies to try too.
Tickets will be going on sale at the beginning of June. They will cost £5 and we'll be donating the profits to charity.
Thanks to Lucinda for sending it through to me.
