Cambridgeshire Libraries are teaming up with local eco-friendly organisations and Eden Project Communities to host a free environmental event at Ely Library on Saturday February 3.

Join speakers and stallholders between 11am and 3pm, take part in eco-friendly activities and get equipped with the know-how to make positive changes where you live.

The Eco Fair will be held on the first floor of Ely Library and visitors can drop in at any time and stay for as long as they want.

Refreshments will be available throughout the event alongside the opportunity to learn more about sustainable practices. Early birds can get their hands on free bird boxes.

Visitors will also be able to chat with others from the community and local environmental groups including The Wildlife Trust and Natural Cambridgeshire.

Alongside the range of stalls, a series of talks are planned on themes including wildlife friendly gardening and winter walking trails.

Councillor Lorna Dupre, chair of Cambridgeshire County Council’s environment and green investment committee, said: “The Ely Library Eco Fair is a fantastic opportunity for people to meet with local experts and find out how small changes, made together, can add up to a big difference in our communities.

“The county council’s joint administration has committed to reaching Net Zero carbon emissions as a county by 2045. To meet this target, we’ll all need to do our bit.

“Pop into the Eco Fair and get empowered to take your next step towards sustainable living, as we all move towards a greener Cambridgeshire.”

Councillor Tom Sanderson, chair of Cambridgeshire County Council’s communities, social mobility and inclusion committee, said: “I’d encourage anyone in the Ely area that wants to reduce their own carbon footprint to pop into the Eco Fair, to connect with like-minded people and get inspired with some great new green ideas.”

There’s no need to book for this event.
