Beverley residents will be inspired to live more sustainably and reduce their carbon footprint at the town’s first Eco Fair.

Talks, workshops, stalls, refreshments and children’s activities, including puppet shows, will form part

of what promises to be a lively, free event taking place at Beverley Minster on Saturday 30th

September. Under the awe-inspiring Gaia installation in the church, businesses, charities, local groups

and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council will come together to showcase what they’re doing to support

the environment and help save the planet.

With plenty of information and facts about climate change and renewables, alongside lots of

inspiration and fun, the event also aims to encourage visitors to recognise the small actions they can

take to live in more environmentally sustainable ways. Visitors will also get the chance to take the

Climate Hero challenge to discover their carbon footprint and find out ways to reduce it.

Activities scheduled throughout the day will include talks on the environment and climate change,

with opportunities for visitors to question the experts. Topics and times will be posted on the Minster

website a few days before the event at: https://beverleyminster.org.uk/ecofest-23/

Indigo Moon Theatre will give 3 FREE 40-minute performances of “Seedheart” - a small puppet show

about big things - at 11.00, 13.00 and 15.00. No booking is required. Places will be offered on a first-

come first-served basis. Other children's activities throughout the day will include climate change

science, nature and craft activities.

Refreshments will also be available to purchase throughout the day.
