Ringwood Eco Fair & Market 2026
Join us at The Furlong and over at the Gateway building for the return of the popular Ringwood Eco-Fair – now in its 6th year!
Location: The Furlong courtyard & Gateway building
Date: Saturday 9th May | 10am – 3.30pm (weather permitting)
The community is invited to come together again for the Ringwood ECO Fair on Saturday 9th May, a vibrant event celebrating sustainability, environmental awareness and local action.
The fair will be held at the Furlong Shopping Centre (in our historic courtyard) and the Gateway Building (beside the town council offices) and is proudly run by Ringwood RACE Against Time. The event will bring together local environmental groups, eco-conscious businesses and community organisations to inspire practical, planet-friendly living.
The Ringwood ECO Fair will feature a range of engaging activities and displays, including educational stalls, hands-on demonstrations, and family-friendly activities designed to show how small everyday choices can make a positive impact on the environment.
Sarah Newland, a trustee of Ringwood RACE Against Time said the fair is about empowering the community. “This is a chance for people to connect, learn and discover simple ways to live more sustainably while supporting local initiatives.”
The event aims to make sustainability visible and accessible in the heart of the community, encouraging conversations and action around climate responsibility and environmental care.
As a special incentive, RACE will have 50 dwarf fruit trees available for a minimum donation of £10 each. Amazing!
There will also be a fantastic line up of live music, watch this space for more details.
The Ringwood ECO Fair is free to attend and open to all ages.
