Camden Green Fair, 1 June


Camden Green Fair at Regents Park is by far the biggest event of its kind. Green Me are joining the many organisations in promoting greener living. We will have our entire range of cloth nappies and will be demonstrating to you how fun and easy they are to use
If you really want to learn how to live in a greener way, Camden Green Fair is the place to be. It will have a life-sized recreation of an environmentally friendly home where you can walk in and learn all the steps you can take to make your home greener. Then maybe you'll want to try the knitting workshop, or just enjoy world music and local bands on a renewable-energy-powered stage, or even watch a movie at a solar cinema. Your children will love the mini city farm and horse-and-cart rides, and your baby will be happy knowing that mummy is learning how cloth nappies are fun and so easy to use...

You also will have the opportunity to test-drive electric cars - maybe it will be your next car...

The Dulwich Park Fair, 18 May


The Dulwich Park Fair (formerly the Green Fair and Party in the Park) will be held this coming Sunday 18 May, from 12 noon to 6pm.
It will be the third year we are participating in the fair and if it is anything like the previous years will be a wonderfully exciting, positive and inspiring experience for everyone. There will be so much to see and do - the mad hat making workshop, singing performances, bands and rides. The park also offers a fantastic playground, a lovely cafe and cycle hire (great fun!).
