ETHICAL products and environmentally-friendly family entertainment come to Dorset as the Green Family Fair pays a visit.

The event, which takes place at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood on Friday and Saturday will include an ethical and environmental market with local traders selling natural beauty treats, green cleaning and household products as well as hand-crafted goods.

Pampering treatments will also be available while local campaign groups, charities and voluntary organisations will be on hand with information about community issues.

Visitors can go on a wild food foray, follow a quiz trail, have their faces painted and take part in fun arts and crafts workshops using recycled materials and there will be talks and workshops on topics such as permaculture and the transition movement.

In keeping with the environmental theme a solar-powered stage, by Floating Lotus, will showcase local musicians and performers at the free event, which is sponsored by Sustainable Wood Energy Ltd of Wimborne.

Fair organiser Sam Monks said: “We want families to come along, have some fun and, hopefully, go away thinking about how we can all reduce our impact on the planet.”
