The UK Bamboo Summit 2024 is a cross-sector gathering, bringing together international bamboo specialists and entrepreneurs alongside engineers, pioneers, architects, academics, artists and environmental leaders to delve deeper into the opportunities of this extraordinarily sustainable material for the UK and explore what ambitious projects and research might look like, with the city of Coventry as an innovative case study… plus special performances of the groundbreaking new outdoor circus theatre show BAMBOO by Nofit State Circus.
