For adults there is a bookshop style café for you to browse, and talk with others about shifting to a lower carbon, higher quality lifestyle!
The café opens from 1:00pm to follow on from the Parish Council’s 5th Annual Village Spring Clean, in partnership with Wealden District Council. Starting at 10am at the Community Centre.
The festival is brought by Transition Forest Row, a group of local people creating dialogue within the community over ways to reduce our own carbon emissions, our dependence on fossil fuels, and how to improve our overall way of life.
