Have a fantastic free big green day out at this year’s Knowsley Green Fayre. Come along and join Knowsley Council in partnership with the National Wildflower Centre at Court Hey Park on Sunday June 8, from 11am - 5pm.

This year the Green Fayre is greener than ever, with local company “Green Fuse” providing environmental activities, workshops and refreshments, as well as hosting a live music stage. This year the stage will be powered by ‘Magnificent Revolution’ a ten bicycle dynamo which, with help of public pedal power will provide all the electricity needed for an exciting line up of acoustic acts.

The 2008 Knowsley Green Fayre also boasts regular screenings in its very own Solar Cinema with a line-up of wildlife and green themed films. Add to this Street theatre, Circus, Scrap metal music performances and workshops from Urban Strawberry Lunch, Knowsley Schools recycled sculpture competition, Green activities and demonstrations and a fantastic farmers market and you have the perfect recipe for a great green day out.

There’s something for everyone so come and discover what you can do to tackle climate change following World Environment Day on 5th June.
