Eco-Friendly Community Markets

The best Eco Christmas Market took place on Sunday, 11th December 2022 between 1 and 5 pm at 80 to 90 Brisbane Road, Cul–de-Sac in front of Valentines Park and Melbourne Fields.

We had over 20 Earth friendly stalls, all plastic free and better for the planet.

Non-alcoholic mulled wine and delicious food was available all day.

It was the perfect chance to shop sustainable this Christmas and support local businesses. So many talented people were there with us!

We offered support to local makers and independent crafters, makers, upcyclers, and Fair-Trade stalls.

There was also children’s activities, “give and take“ books, an Energy Cafe stall, a “Seed exchange“ and our very own Zero Waste and Refill station.

Organised by Brisbane Road residents in partnership with Transition Town Ilford.
