Kew will be holding its very first EcoFair on Saturday - March 11th – with BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine, the well-known cycling champion, set to welcome visitors.

This free event will run from 10.30am to 2pm and is intended to inspire local residents to action on climate change and make changes in our everyday lives to help protect the Earth.

The event will be held at Kew Community Centre, at St Luke's Church, The Avenue, Kew, TW9 2AJ and will be officially opened by Jeremy Vine alongside the Mayor of Richmond, Cllr Julia Cambridge.
