14 August Place: Haldon Forest Park, Devon Art in the Park goes Slow Fashion will be held on Saturday August 14 at Haldon Forest Park, Devon and promises to be a fantastic event for raising awareness of the impact of fashion and textiles in our lives and on the environment. It is a free event guaranteed to attract thousands of people to this extremely popular forest park that includes walking and cycling trails and CCANW, an arts and ecology organisation with a gallery on site. Arts organizations from around Exeter and Devon will be providing free family-centered drop-in workshops and there will be music as well. Stall fees are quite reasonable and will be supported by CCANW’s summer exhibition ‘Fashion Footprints: Sustainable Approaches’ – which highlights themes from the seminal book by Kate Fletcher ‘Sustainable Fashion and Textiles’ and is curated by MA graduates of the London College of Fashion’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion.
14 August Join the Ecology Center and CHERP (Community Hooked on East River Park) for a day of gardening in East River Park.

No prior gardening experience necessary. Register here.
