Wildlife charity set to support the Greener Amble Community Fair
Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Nextdoor Nature Northumberland team at Hauxley will be heading to the Greener Amble Community Fair this Saturday, 18th October.
The Fair, which has been organised by local people as part of the Greener Amble Network, and supported by the Hauxley team, will be held at three venues at various times: St Cuthbert’s Parish Hall on Church Street, The Dovecote Centre on Dovecote Street and Dry Water Arts Centre on Wellwood Street.
Entry to all three venues is free.
This is the first time the town has hosted the Fair which is centred around the local Amble community taking action for the environment and showcasing how local people, organisations and creative groups are working together to make Amble a greener, more sustainable place to live.
With a mixture of hands-on workshops, information stalls, family activities, and refreshments, it really is an event worth taking part in - whether somebody is curious about climate change, coastal resilience, wildlife, or just want to get involved in something positive. There really is something for everyone.
At Dry Water Arts Centre, between 10:30am and 1:30pm there is a (drop in) green-themed printmaking workshop for all ages with an exhibition in the afternoon between 1:30pm and 3:00pm.
St Cuthbert’s Parish Hall and the Dovecote Centre will both be throwing open their doors between
2:00pm and 5:30pm for stalls, talks, workshops and activities including wildlife photography, a climate change game and workshop with the wildlife charity’s Stronger Shores Project.
Callum Donnelly, Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Nextdoor Nature Northumberland Project Assistant and Fair organiser says:
"We're so excited to be a part of the very first Greener Amble Community Fair. It’s a brilliant opportunity to bring people together, share ideas, and celebrate the amazing work already happening in Amble to protect our environment. We hope it’s the first of many!”
This event is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, with the North East Combined Authority as the Lead Authority and part of Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Nextdoor Nature Northumberland project.
