Heathfield Enviro Fair – Sat 18th Oct 2025

Posted on by Mark Alger

Don’t miss out on an exciting opportunity to take part in Heathfield & Waldron Parish Council’s Enviro Fair on 18th October at State Hall, Heathfield – a town centre location with onsite cafΓ© and plenty of free parking. The event opens to the public at 10am and doors close at 4pm.

If you are a business, charity or local group aiming to support and encourage residents to become a healthier, more sustainable place to live then please get in touch. They have a limited number of stalls where you will be able to engage with local residents during what we know will be a fun-filled, informative day for all the family.

They have an exciting line-up with informal sessions focussing on hot topics, such as bio-diversity, dark skies and energy solutions, along with child-friendly sessions which include β€˜build a bug hotel’ and modelling with recycling – to name a few.

Also in the line-up is the β€˜Wonderdome’…a pop-up planetarium projecting shows throughout the day focusing on outer space and dark skies in our area.

The event will be widely promoted through local radio, social media, schools, libraries and through local businesses and organisations keen to support environmental initiatives wherever possible.

If you would like to be involved or would like further details, please email info@hwpc.or.uk or call 01435 865700
