Twelve Sparkling Days of Eco Christmas Shopping - Denmark Farm Conservation Centre

Christmas can cause headaches for many of us, who prefer not to waste money on endless, useless stuff likely to end up in landfill. But it can also be hard to completely opt out as we don’t want to be seen to act like Scrooge by our nearest and dearest. So, why not embrace the season of goodwill and buy local, homemade, secondhand and eco gifts and supplies to keep everybody full of cheer?

We have so many fantastic events coming up locally at which you can spend your pennies on beautifully crafted and unique treasures and goodies and, in turn, support local producers and small businesses. A round up of the finest local Eco Christmas goings on:
