Well didn’t that go well? The weather was MUCH nicer than last year (when it rained ALL DAY and put a bit of a dampener on the whole event TBH).
We had lots of people interested in our events and our beautiful park – and next time we are ‘off-site’ we’ll think to bring a map with us (not that we don’t all have a map on our phone of course) – just because WE know where West Ham Park is, that doesn’t mean EVERYONE ELSE will!
Thanks to Sustainable Newham for organising, and all the stall holders and entertainment for making it such an great Bank Holiday!
The event is run by Sustainable Newham, part of One Newham Network, and will take place in Plashet Park from 11am to 4pm. The Friends of West Ham Park will of course be there so do come and say hello!
This extraordinary event brings together voluntary organisations, musicians, artists, small traders and local businesses to showcase initiatives, projects, organisations and businesses that help protect and enhance the environment, create a sustainable community and contribute to social, economic and environmental justice locally and globally.
Among the many things that visitor can expect, there will be wellbeing activities, including tai chi, arts and crafts for children, a wide programme of talks and workshops through the day covering sustainability topics, herbal medicine, and a variety of stalls selling home made natural products, tasty vegetarian & vegan food, essential oils, teas, jams & chutneys, and eco-friendly healthy and beauty goodies.
