Green Fair in the Square

What a great event we had on Saturday 23^rd Sept!  The weather was kind and there were so many stalls of interest. 

There were too many stalls to mention all but take a look at the photos for a flavour of who came.

The Community Larder was there providing yummy soup and cakes and giving away locally picked apples.  (See separate article on the Larder).  There was music from the Arts Centre and new and secondhand bikes as well as Babes on Bikes.  Did you see the Mossy Carpet? It will grow and grow and will be displayed at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in November and Exeter Cathedral in April.  For the first time the Makers Boutique came and showed off their locally made clothes with sustainable fabric and bags and wallets made from old fire hoses and bike tyres.  The Town Council came, the Friends of the River Exe and the Climate Action Group showing the churchyard projects on creatures big and small and rewilding.  

The Green Trail invited you to visit further afield including the Community Allotment and the new Crediton Repair Café at the Methodist Church. This is planning to be a monthly offer - they'd love more repairers so get in touch if you'd like to be involved.

There was honey for sale from Artemis Bees - Imogen is a small-scale bee farmer.  Anne Stobart displayed her new book (see separate article) and there was good advice on hedgehogs.  If you see one out in the day it's probably not well.  Contact https://www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/  for information and contact details of local rescuer.
