Be inspired at pioneeringeco centre's green fair

The Sustainability Centre, near Clanfield, Waterlooville, is hosting its annual Green Fair on Sunday.

More than 3,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will see music, literature and workshops combine for a great family day out.

‘This celebration of all things green has a real festival feel about it.

‘It’s a fun, informative event in a beautiful 55-acre site suitable for all the family.

‘We are really looking forward to people coming along to learn about sustainable living and growing.’

Charles Dowding and Stephanie Hafferty, authors of No dig Organic Home & Garden, are the guest speakers.

‘There will be more than 100 stalls of carefully selected crafted goods and green products and delicious fair trade and organic food to tempt you.

‘A host of local musicians will perform throughout the day.
