Ringwood ECO Fair Returns for 6th Year
A Celebration of Sustainability, Community and Local Action
We’re delighted to be welcoming the Ringwood ECO Fair back to The Furlong on Saturday 9th May 2026 – a vibrant, family-friendly event celebrating sustainability, environmental awareness and positive local action.
Now in its sixth year, this much-loved annual event continues to grow, bringing together local environmental groups, eco-conscious businesses and community organisations, all passionate about inspiring practical, planet-friendly living.
Where It’s Happening
The fair will take place in the courtyard at The Furlong Shopping Centre and at the Gateway Building beside the Town Council offices, right in the heart of Ringwood.
The event is proudly organised by Ringwood RACE Against Time, a local charity dedicated to raising climate awareness and encouraging sustainable choices within our community.
What to Expect
Visitors can look forward to:
• Educational stalls from local environmental groups
• Hands-on demonstrations and practical eco tips
• Family-friendly activities
• Inspiring displays and conversations
• Live music from talented local musicians in The Furlong courtyard
The aim is simple – to show how small, everyday choices can make a real difference, and how supporting local initiatives helps strengthen our whole community.
Sarah Newland, Trustee of Ringwood RACE Against Time, says:
“This is a chance for people to connect, learn and discover simple ways to live more sustainably while supporting local initiatives.”
A Special Eco Giveaway
As an added incentive, RACE will have 50 dwarf fruit trees available for a minimum donation of £10 each. It’s a wonderful opportunity to start growing your own produce while supporting a great local cause.
