Celebrating all things green and sustainable

Eco-living Fair

Sunday 14 September 2014.
It is held at the Randwick Community Centre located at 27 Munda Street, Randwick.
See Getting there and parking for directions.
Eco-Living Fair will be celebrating its tenth year, and will continue to provide a range of new and popular activities for local residents and their families.
There will be:

• Outdoor stalls promoting and showcasing environmental friendly products from across the Eastern suburbs and wider Sydney
• Family and children's entertainment, native wildlife on show for youngsters to learn about the importance of biodiversity, and sessions on how to save on householders' energy and water bills.

There will also be:

• A Junk Juke Box promoting recycling and anti-litter messages,
• Craft sessions for all age groups
• Composting workshops encouraging residents to sign up to Council initiatives including the Compost Revolution.

Many local partner organisations attend to provide information and conduct formal and informal talks and workshops based on the environmental issues that affect our community in their homes, at school and in the workplace.
Other popular events on the day include Council's Garden Awards, cycling activities and free bicycle maintenance workshops, tours of the Randwick Environment Park and "ask the experts" sessions on keeping bees and chickens and sustainable food production.
More information of the Fair will be available on our What's on closer to the day.

Eco-Living Fair aims and objectives

We hope that people come to the Eco-Living Fair wanting to find out more about how to live sustainably and how to reduce their ecological footprint - particularly energy and water consumption.
Our aim is that every person leaves having learnt something about the environment or a tip about how to tread more lightly on the earth.
Our event is powered by renewable forms of energy including wind, solar and bio diesel and we are giving away over 3000 trees to our visitors to help offset the carbon used in the event's infrastructure delivery and operation.
Food and food scraps will be collected and will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for our worms in our huge worm farm.
We are also running a book exchange - bring along an old book and swap it for one you haven't read yet.
We encourage sustainable transport and offer a free shuttle bus service and bike valet - so hop on a bus or hop on a bike and get dropped off right at the door.

Eco Living Fair 2013

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came along to the 2013 Eco-Living Fair!
It was a great day to celebrate our community and come together to learn more about the environment and actions we can take to tread more lightly on the earth.
We hope everyone who came picked up some good advice, learnt something new or sampled from one of our many stalls or food trucks.
Take a look at the highlights from last year's Eco-Living Fair.

Celebrating all things green and sustainable

The festival will be held on Sunday 15 September 2013 from 10:30am to 3:30pm.

It is held at The Randwick Community Centre located at 27 Munda Street, Randwick.

Event Overview

The Randwick City Council Eco-living Fair is a free annual event that provides the perfect opportunity for the community to come together to learn about the benefits of living a sustainable lifestyle.

This year we celebrate the ninth Eco-living Fair and it is fair to say it is now firmly established as the premiere green event of the east. Held in the unique setting of the Randwick Community Centre, surrounded by the Randwick Environment Park, the Eco-living Fair has something for the whole family to enjoy with advice and information on offer from local community groups and green industry experts, delicious healthy food, free entertainment and kids activities and a variety of market stalls selling quality wares.

Many local partner organisations attend to provide information and conduct formal and informal talks and workshops based on the environmental issues that affect our community in their homes, at school and in the workplace.

This year for the first time we will offer some fresh produce stalls - so bring your market basket or shopping bags along and stock up on fruit, nuts, bread, oils and veggies.
