Ok, so we had some set-backs with the main Green Fair this year (see the blog below) but we've got a great plan B!

The Redbridge community festival with a green theme is on-the-road.
Saturday 24 June 11-5pm,
Ken Aston Square, 140 High Street, between the Library and the Leisure Centre

Come for a wonderful day where we take over the lovely Town Square in Barkingside and areas around the library and leisure centre. 

We've got 2 weeks to go and we are still adding features as we keep getting great ideas and offers :)

• Music all day
• 20 + stalls with green products, crafts, eco attractions, information, and lots more
• Veggie food (much lower carbon footprint folks)
• Arts and performances, dancing and workshops galore - all participatory (we're big on participation!)

With thanks for  the Redbridge Arts grant to fund this,and help from Vision.  Hopefully next year proper funding and support will be available for the main  event in Melbourne Field, Valentines Park.

​With much regret the Directors of Redbridge Green Fair Association (RGFA) have taken the decision to cancel the 2018 Green Fair which was scheduled to take place in Melbourne Field, Valentines Park on Saturday 23 June this year. The decision has been made reluctantly and for a combination of financial and organisational reasons. 

We  would love you to read our full statement outlining the reasons for our decision.  This is largely to do with the lack of of funding and appreciation by the Council for the green fair, and the unequal treatment and funding we receive in contrast with Vision, and other, community events.  It is also to do with the exorbitant fee charged by Vision to hire Melbourne Field which we cannot afford.  It is also, hands up, due to some organisational issues which we have largely sorted out.

We are really hoping that we can organise a mini green fair on the same day in Barkingside Town Square (the Ken Aston Square) if the Council will let our £3000 arts grant (to pay for Melbourne Field!!!), be transferred to this smaller (but very exciting!) event. We will update here when we find  out.
