One Planet Wincanton's Repair Cafe will be joining us at this year's Wild & Green. Their free (and rather brilliant) repair service mends things that may otherwise end up in landfill.

Stock up on children’s clothes at our 0-5s clothing bank and do your bit to reduce waste by giving pre-loved items a second life. It's a simple, sustainable choice for families!
