LEARN SOMETHING NEW
GreenFest is all about helping to show what is possible. Workshops will be available for children and adults - why not go home with a bird box you have made?
Repair cafes will help change something that appears broken to something that continues to be useful. And you can participate in one of the UK's first ever eco-building experiences, using ecobricks to create different 3-D shapes. What's not to love?
