- Talks on bees, coffee, wormeries and flour milling
- Electric car chat with people with first-hand experience of driving them
- Burgess Hill Shed – community craft workshop
- Fill Good Store
- Zero Hub
- Children’s craft activities
- Displays and an ideas board to share practical tips on living more sustainably

Bring ideas to share and allow time to enjoy the refreshments. See you then!
