About

Are you thinking about the future and our planet? Join us for a fun-filled one day festival at Wakefield Exchange.


Come explore and discover changes you can make to live more sustainably, and help you to cope with the challenges of a changing climate.


Beneath the glow of the amazing Helios exhibition, you can get creative at drop-in workshops, swap you old clothes for new-to-you clothes (for free!), have a go at upcycling furniture, and enjoy theatrical performances, puppetry and sustainable fashion shows – sun guaranteed! There will be plenty of stalls, too, where you can find out useful information. Why not come on your bike and drop into our cycle repair shop while you’re here!


We only have one earth… let’s work together and save our planet.


Full schedule coming soon!


The event is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, and organised by the Wakefield District Net Zero Partnership.


This event is a part of Helios.
