Here is a quick 1 min tour around our fascinating 'Back to The Nomads Tent' Fringe Festival Exhibition. Most of us, one way or another, are descended from nomadic people who moved around to graze their animals, and adapt to seasonal changes for the best crops. Thousands of years ago this was the most common behaviour of human society. How else to do so but travel light! Tents of the types shown in our exhibition are easily the most eco-friendly homes on the planet. They can be carried on a few pack animals and erected in half a day. Exhibition ends Sunday 25th August
