our eco-festival



Our annual Church Eco-festival is opened this year by Alan Gardener, star of Channel 4's, 'The Autistic Gardener'.  Heavily tattooed with a shocking pink haircut he's not a man easily missed in the crowd.  His easy going demeanor belies the personal and health issues he grapples with every day. Alan is a fantastic ambassador for the National Autistic Society and a great believer in growing community. We're so grateful to have him on board for the Festival.

Elsewhere, the plant, eco-product and food stalls jostle merrily with the bee-man, the Friends of Sutton Park and Eco Sutton. Music is provided by a fine choir and a barbershop quartet.
