Everyone is invited to the Climate Action Festival community day, 2nd October, 10 – 4pm.

All day: a model passive house built on site; electric vehicles; a walk-on map of technology journeys across the world; furry friends who produce wool; free bike checks & simple repairs from Dr Bike; and many more demonstrations. Refreshments available to buy.
11am- 12noon: High profile speakers about the potential impact of climate change on our area and some positive responses. Speakers include Professor of Earth Observation at the University of Leeds, Andy Shepherd, and Harrogate and Knaresborough MP, Andrew Jones.
12 noon: bespoke performance from Leeds Conservatoire.
2pm: prizes announced for children and schools for their Climate Friendly Ideas competition entries.
This day has been co-ordinated by Harrogate District Climate Change Coalition and will be hosted by Harrogate College.
Saving the planet can be fun!
That’s the message organisers want visitors to the launch of the first Harrogate District Climate Action Festival (CAFé) to take home after enjoying a great day out.
The three-week event will be launched at Harrogate College on Saturday 2 October when dozens of exhibitors will be talking about, and showing, how they are adapting to secure a more sustainable future.
What Does the Future Look Like? is free to attend, runs from 10am to 4pm, and aims to inspire visitors while shining a light on all kinds of green innovations.
