Didcot Eco Fair

Everyone is invited to the Didcot Eco Fair to celebrate all things green at this free family-friendly event showcasing our district’s fantastic sustainable businesses, with arts and crafts activities, repair cafes, demonstrations and advice on how to save energy.

Didcot Garden Town, in partnership with South Oxfordshire District Council, Vale of White Horse District Council and Sustainable Didcot, is hosting the fun-filled fair here at the council’s arts centre, Cornerstone. 

Centre stage will be the Eco Marketplace with a variety of eco-friendly stalls specialising in handmade products, clothing, food and drink.

Also taking place will be a Christmas Clothing Swap, so bring unwanted, clean Christmas jumpers or party outfits and you could come away with something new to you. 

The Didcot Repair Café will be on hand to advise on how to fix all kinds of broken items.  

There will be an arts and crafts area for families and lots of ideas on how to avoid food waste by using up leftovers.  

So come along any time between 11am and 3pm for all the fun of the (eco) fair.
