Excitement building for Green Fayre!

Congleton town centre will once again be buzzing with eco-friendly fun as the sixth annual Green Fayre takes place on Saturday 27 September from 10am–3pm. Organised by Congleton Town Council and Congleton Partnership, the event encourages eco-conscious choices and is the perfect opportunity to explore environmentally friendly initiatives, engage with local suppliers, and contribute to sustainability efforts.

More than 30 stalls will line the High Street, showcasing environmentally friendly businesses, products, and services. Visitors can discover greener lifestyle choices and take part in hands-on activities inside the Town Hall.

Highlights include:

• The Big Clothes Movement – refresh your wardrobe for just £2 per bag! (Morning: clothes for children up to age 5; Afternoon: clothes for ages 5+ and women’s fashion, including Halloween and fancy dress).
• Congleton Repair Café – skilled volunteers will help fix broken items, giving them a second life.
• Book Swap & Eco-Friendly Face Painting.
• The Hedgemen – interactive performers bringing fun to visitors of all ages.

Congleton Town Mayor, Cllr Robert Brittain, said: “The Green Fayre is about community and sustainability – small steps, taken together, that make a real difference. We look forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be an inspiring day of fun and education, together, as a community we can make a real difference.

Road closures will be in operation to ensure the event runs smoothly. High Street and Moody Street will be closed from 7am–6pm (no access from Market Street). Market Street will remain open for access to Morrisons and the Fairground Car Park, and bus and taxi ranks will operate as usual, exiting via Mountbatten Way.
