The London Green Fair is a free green festival for all the family and is taking place on 4-5 June at Regents Park

The London Green Fair festival will be jam-packed with great entertainment and activities for young and old, including two live music stages, fashion shows, clothes swapshops, permaculture zone, speakers tent, free workshops, and a range of ethical markets and boutique craft stalls displaying designer goodies rarely found in shops. Not to mention the organic ale and cider bars and a fantastic selection of global cuisine.

 

The Speakers Forum, programmed by TalkAction, will present a series of workshops and debates around 'Transforming London, Transforming our planet' while on Sunday will feature Ken Livingstone, Jenny Jones, and King Lion Media's very own GREEN editor, Tony Juniper in a headline panel discussion.

On Saturday the festival hosts a brand new addition - the Spoken Word tent, featuring rhymes and rhythms from the TW Rhino crew.

Two days of top tunes on the main music stage at the festival will feature live bands from around the world - brought to the UK in Fair exchange as part of the Global/Local partnership, the ethical fashion tent is presenting some great workshops and fashion shows, and the London Permaculture Zone, markets, bars, pedal-powered stage, BikeFest all add up to one of the best free days out for people from all walks of life.

There will be 500 trees given away to visitors for free, in partnership with the Land Trust, helping to offset the carbon cost of staging the event. As most of the tens of thousands of visitors travel by public transport or bike to the show, plus the fact that it is entirely powered by wind, solar, hydrogen and recycled chip-fat, this event will be the greenest festival in London, if not the UK.

Festival Manager Sinclair Eiloart said:

"We are delighted to be producing this great environmental event, which is growing into a unique showcase for London’s green credentials. We have some fantastic things planned to entertain and inspire the whole family, and best of all, thanks to the continued support of our partners and sponsors, the event will remain free to the public."
