Festive Eco Fair
We're excited to announce our first Festive Eco Fair, featuring local sustainable creators, makers and crafters selling their products.
The event is free to attend. You can also take part in free workshops throughout the day.
The festive season often means buying more and creating more packaging waste. Our Festive Eco Fair will help you discover ways to reduce waste by learning new skills and ideas from local creators and crafters.
At the fair you can:
- buy gifts from local producers
- attend free reuse workshops on making rag or bauble wreaths and homemade crackers
- chat with our Waste Prevention Advisor Volunteers
