Sustainable Thornton Heath runs bi-monthly ‘Eco Living Fests’ near to Thornton Heath on the 3rd Saturday afternoon (1-4pm) of the respective months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep & Nov) at Holy Innocents Church Hall in South Norwood. Entrance is free and people can get free help with cycle repairs, free clothes mending skill sharing, free workshops / demos, refills of cleaning & bodycare products, vegan refreshments, a Kids’ Zone, and lots of free information, advice and inspiration from lots of local groups and organisations on many sustainability themes (e.g. energy, activism, financial services and food).

A) FREE soap-making workshop with Dragonfly Soaps for adults & children (aged 4+). Learn how to make soap using the melt & pour method by Sylwia. You can choose your own size, shape, scent and colours! You will need to wait for around 30 mins for your soap to set before you can take it home. Places are limited so arrive early if you can

C) Pat will be back to teach you how to darn items such as jumpers and socks . Interested darners just need to come with a knitted garment that has a hole they want to mend, or a garment that has worn thin and needs reinforcing.
