After several months of planning, on Saturday 18 March the Brigg Eco Fair will be launched. The new Totally Locally Brigg Eco Fair will join the Totally Locally Brigg (TLB) Indie Market for the first time.

It will promote recycling and shopping locally, with environmentally friendly products and services. It offers a range of eco products from local suppliers: toiletries, household goods, a range of food and pet foods, a zero-waste café, repair shops and other promotions.

Held in association with Totally Locally Indie Market and the Fiver Fest, the Eco Fair will be open between 9.00am and 2pm.

The venue is quite appropriate as the Eco Fair can be found in the grounds of Brigg Methodist Church, which has a Silver Award as an Eco Church.

This event also links with established retailers in Brigg offering eco cleaning products and a refill station at Okios on Wrawby Street, Brigg (opposite Boots the Chemists) and a climate change lending library also at Okios.

The Eco Fair is being coordinated by Aime Watson from Slow Circular Earth UK. As a prelude to the event, Andrew Gadd, the regional Circular Economy Coordinator, will introduce the ‘Circular Towns’ approach and how this relates so well to Saturday’s events programme. The talk will be at 2pm on Friday 17 March in the Angel Ballroom, Brigg.
