Abingdon Eco Fair
Saturday May 13th 2023 9am - 3pm
An opportunity to answer so many questions you have about the climate and nature crisis, and find viable ways of responding as an individual.
Changing up your lifestyle in small ways can add up to a big difference over time. Imagine the impact of being part of an army of people all making those important changes!
There are three events happening in the Town Centre on May 13th: here's what you can do...
- attend one of the short talks in the Guildhall (Roysse Room)
- stroll around the Eco Fair Market on the Market Place and meet some exhibitors
- join in the activities put on by the One Planet group, taking place under the museum arches and downstairs in the basement.
- Includes bike checks and sewing repair cafe
We're shouting out a big "thank you" to Missing Bean in Stert Street for supporting our stallholders with discounted coffees.
