There were various stalls from electric bikes to oat milk and afternoon tea and recycling tips to ideas for retrofitting to keep your house warmer and heat pumps. The school made wax food wrappers and Hambledon vineyard provided samples of their sparkling wine. The atmosphere was completed by Steve Wilkins and his band playing folk tunes. As previously the art groups provided their best work for display – the creativity was amazing! The [...]
