Groups set for green fair

5:00pm Wednesday 2nd May 2007

ECO-friendly groups from around Redditch will be exhibiting at a green fair at Ragley Hall this Bank Holiday weekend.

Friends of the Earth, the Trade Justice Network, Freecycle and the Vegetarian and Vegan Society will all have information stalls at the event on Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am-6pm.

The fair aims to raise environmental awareness and promote a sustainable future.

Kevin White, of Redditch Friends of the Earth, said: "This is the first time that such a large environmental festival has been held near Redditch, so it's not surprising that local campaign groups like oursevelves are eager to attend and raise awareness."

Entrance to the fair, included in the Ragley Hall admission price, is £8 for adults, £4.50 for children and £6.50 for senior citizens.
