By Dan Hutton on September 6, 2015 in Video

This Sunday, September 13, Randwick Council will be hosting its annual Eco-Living Fair and you can see what it’s all about in the video above of last year’s event. The Eco-Living Fair will celebrate its eleventh year from 10.30am to 3.30pm, and will continue to provide a range of new and popular activities for local residents and their families. The festival will be held at the Randwick Community Centre.

There will be outdoor stalls promoting and showcasing environmentally-friendly products from across the Eastern Suburbs and wider Sydney, as well as family and children’s entertainment, native wildlife on show for youngsters to learn about the importance of biodiversity, and sessions on healthy eating.

Randwick Mayor Ted Seng said he was looking forward to one of the municipality’s signature events.

“The fair will once again celebrate our diverse local environment and will include an array of displays and workshops that will encourage our residents to use environmentally-friendly initiatives and systems in their own homes,” he said.

“The Eco-Living Fair has something for all ages, with plenty of entertainment throughout the day, all set in the beautiful, central location of Randwick Environment Park.”

Many local partner organisations attend to provide information and conduct formal and informal talks and workshops based on the environmental issues that affect members of 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 experts on hand helping out with keeping bees, chickens and sustainable food production.

You can also check out fun and informative activities, from yoga classes and honey tasting sessions, to composting and worm farming workshops.
