Corsham Eco Fair 2023

On Saturday 22 April we held the second Corsham Eco Fair, in a joint event with Corsham Climate Action and sponsored by Martingate. The Eco Fair gave residents and visitors the opportunity to discover the small changes we can all make that will make a big difference to the planet by offering information, eco-friendly things to buy, vegetarian and vegan food, fun activities and more. All the stalls were carefully selected for their great environmental credentials. Click the link below to find out more about the stalls environmental credentials.

Corsham Eco Fair 2022

On Saturday 2nd April 2022, Corsham Town Council held their first ever, Eco Fair in partnership with Corsham Climate Action. The aim of the Eco Fair was to showcase the environmental action taking place in Corsham through the eco-friendly businesses, community groups and organisations operating in the town. The fair focused on encouraging people to make easy, low cost, sustainable lifestyle changes by using the organisations and businesses that are operating in and around Corsham. There were 10 stalls set up in the High Street including Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, Wiltshire Digital Drive, The Plant Kitchen, Corsham Eco Churches and Corsham Climate Action and Corsham Town Council showcasing the climate action they are taking to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. There were also stalls at the Springfield campus which incorporated Corsham’s recycling hub and children’s activities were held at the Pound Arts Centre to get families involved in the fun.

On the evening, the Pound Art Centre held an evening of inspirational talks titled ‘No one is too small to make a difference’. Seven speakers gave insightful talks on the work and research they are carrying out locally. The talks covered a wide range of topics incorporating science, nature, art and economics giving the audience a chance to reflect on how they can make sustainable changes to their own life. The whole day was full of interesting conversations that focused on the small changes we can all make to save the planet from the climate crisis.

Due to the success of the first ever Eco Fair in Corsham, it will now become an annual event which we hope will be bigger and better next year! Date TBC for Corsham Eco Fair 2023! Please contact bsearle@corsham.gov.uk if you would like to be apart of the next Eco Fair.
