Midhurst to host Sustainability Day

Midhurst is set to host a Sustainability Day in the town.

The Sustainability Day will take place on July 10 to raise awareness of being eco-conscious as part of Chichester District’s Culture Spark.

The event has been organised by Midhurst Town Council and will focus on sustainability and tackling the climate crisis as a community. Sussex Green Living will be bringing their Bright New Futures Eco Roadshow to show how people can adopt an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

People are invited to bring a picnic and enjoy a fun afternoon in the park with music, demonstrations, and interactive activities for all ages.

People will also be able to browse a range of stalls selling sustainable products including soaps, household cleaning products, upcycled clothing, pre-loved school uniform, and plants.

Midhurst Town Council in a statement said: “The environment, sustainability and how as a community we can be more eco-conscious is something that should be at the forefront of our agenda.

"Sussex Green Living's Bright New Futures Roadshow will be joining us with their woodland theatre truck, inspiration eco-station and eco-wheel of fortune, alongside stalls from UKHarvest talking about tackling food waste, plant swaps, as well as much more."

Caroline Sharman-Mendoza, creative co-ordinator, says: “Sustainability has been a key theme throughout the Culture Spark programme and so we are delighted that Midhurst Town Council and Chichester Community Development Trust are hosting these special events to raise awareness of this important message in their local communities.

“These events are completely free to attend and promise a fun day out for all the family with a chance to learn more about looking after the environment and our own wellbeing. The events have been organised as part of Culture Spark, a wonderful season of events, performances, live entertainment, and community projects to celebrate a momentous year of art and culture in the Chichester District.”

The event will take place on July 10 at the Recreation Ground on Carron Lane from midday to 3pm.
