Commenting ahead of the event, Darren Houston, Chair of the Ballynure and District Community Association said: “With the recently passed Climate Emergency bill at Stormont and the ever growing awareness of the plight of our local nature, I created and organise this event on behalf of Ballynure and District Community Association.

“It is the enthusiasm of the exhibitors and BDCA’s energetic volunteers that make the day such a great free family day out, to learn more about what bits we can all do to help our precious environment.”

Everyone is welcome to attend and entrance is free.
