Sunday 27thSeptember Transition Nottingham Urban Harvest Festival
11am - 4pm Green's Windmill Sneinton
The festival is part of ‘Season Nottingham’ – a year round programme of events promoting positive, local and seasonal solutions to the ecological and economic challenges we face in Nottingham as we try to feed ourselves and our families.
Activities will include cooking and preserve making demonstrations, apple pressing and making a smoothie using a bike; plus ideas about how to turn your fruit and veg surplus into something a bit stronger…….! We’ll also be learning how the challenges of Peak Oil and climate change will affect future harvests and how you can get involved with Transition Nottingham. There will be competitions, kids’ activities, stalls loaded with local produce for sale, music from local performers, and our barter area where you can swap those enormous marrows for a pot of jam.
The festival promises to be a great day out for everyone who needs to eat, and it’s free!
