When it comes to cutting carbon, we’re often drowning in oceans of good advice - more than we can swallow. What we really need is to SPEAK to the right people; and we need to SEE the solutions in action. As part of Faringdon ECOWEEK we’ve put together three enabling events where you can do just that. In addition - we’ve also arranged as showing of Al Gore’s award-winning “An Inconvenient Truth” , and there’s a Bird & Farm Walk for the budding ornithologists.

EVENT ONE - Saturday 14th June 10am-4pm - FREE ENTRY: The ECOFAIR will take place in the Corn Exchange and will conveniently be running concurrently for the first two hours with the SWAPSHOP being held in the RC Church Hall just over the road.
We will be bringing together those local companies and organisations that have anything to tell or sell relating to reducing your impact on the environment and your carbon footprint.
Invited companies/Organisations include those who can offer advice and services relating to:
- Green energy & micro-generation
- Insulation & energy efficiency
- Recycling & waste reduction
- Water saving
- Devices around the home
- And many more!

EVENT TWO - All Week - FREE ENTRY: The ECOTRAIL gives you the opportunity to be nosey! Twenty five houses in and around Faringdon have kindly given their permission for you to visit between specified times - to see how the owners have implemented eco-solutions, and to find out whether it’s worth it for you to investigate some of these solutions further.
EVENT THREE - Wednesday 18th June 5pm-8pm - FREE ENTRY: John Willmer from Friar’s Court (just this side of Clanfield) has been an environmental pioneer for more than two decades now, and has always made a point of sharing what he has learnt with the general public through the use of informative displays, eco-walks, and guided tours. John has kindly agreed to offer ECOTOURs and Cream Teas on the Lawn from 5pm onwards on the 18th.
EVENT FOUR - Friday 20th June 5.30pm-7.30pm - FREE ENTRY: Adam Simmons will take you for a Bird and Farm walk around the farm that had more b ird species than any other n the UK.
