Eco Fun Day at Springbank Community Centre

Eco Fun Day will take place at Springbank Community Resource Centre and Springfields Park on Saturday, September 26th from 10am to 2pm. It is a low carbon family entertainment activity that has the theme of climate change running throughout.

Among the activities planned for the day are dance, sketches by Everyman Theatre, Thomas Trilby circus act, competitions, information on climate change and recycling, arts workshops, a magic show, line dancing, belly dancing, Capoeira (an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, games, music, and dance), a samba band, Tai Chi, a creatures of the rainforest workshop, composting instruction, local community group activities, a range of children's entertainment, cycling training and repair, energy saving information, waste management information, jobs, volunteering and training information, family advice and guidance, a mobile police station, a calligraphy workshop, Play Rangers activities, The Fun Music man, football tournaments, health walks, a raffle and tombola and much more. There will be a BBQ and refreshments are available.

Eco Fun Day is also one of a number of events that are scheduled for Peace Week, 19th to 27th September, and activities will be taking place on the day to celebrate this. Eco Fun Day is free and everyone is invited to come along. If you would like any further information or are able to help out on the day, please call Chris Green on 01242 539088.
