To capitalise on the success of last year’s Earth Fayre – see photos below – another event is being hosted. This year it’s on Saturday 28th September, 10:00am – 3:00pm. Admission is free. Come along to browse, to discuss and to learn.
There will be a range of stalls to browse among, each with a well-informed stall-minder who will be only too keen to discuss their particular angle on the environment.
There will also be a programme of speakers, each with something important to say on the environment and how we can all play our part in saving the planet.
Look out for the set of children’s activities, to entertain the children and to draw them into the challenges facing this fragile Earth.
During the Earth Fayre, All Saints café will be open for delicious coffee and cakes.
