expertise to fix broken but loved/useful items, to reduce the amount going to landfill.

See how bicycles are renovated and either given to charities or needy homes

or sold and the proceeds go to Hull for Heroes or St Albans Church Hull

for the needy and to replenish parts.

Seed Ball Making

Sowing wildflower seeds in your garden, yard or window box is a perfect way to help

bounce some colour into your outdoor space.

From an early age Fiona had a connection to the land, growing up on a coastal farm on the edge of Holderness. Her deep sense of connection to the landscape was developed through her years of working the land alongside her family. Moving on from there she travelled, lived and worked in various parts of the world before returning to her roots, established in the flat lands and big skies of East Yorkshire. Her work as artist and photographer is inspired by the beauty of these wide-open land and seascapes.

James Taylor, Sustainable Development Team, East Riding of Yorkshire Council
“I am very excited to help run this artistic workshop event celebrating the beautiful and unique natural environment we have in East Yorkshire.”

The important tale of what happened to the Earth when humans came along and how

we can restore our green planet. Watch as our story unfolds (literally) from a single

suitcase and follow Grey’s journey to a better future with magical pop-ups, puppetry

and shadows.

Indigo Moon Theatre was created in 1999 by founder Anna Ingleby to showcase the

magical world of shadow and puppet theatre
