The Festival of Thrift brings together communities and creators to celebrate sustainable living in a way that’s fun and accessible. At its heart, the festival is about making the most of what we already have, something FareShare North East champions by redistributing surplus food across our region. The festival showcases creative ways to save money, reduce waste and live more sustainably, demonstrating how simple actions can make a real difference for people and the planet.
In collaboration with Nourish Food School, we’ll be hosting hands-on workshops and showcasing tasty recipes made using surplus food – perfect inspiration for making the most of ingredients that might be lingering at the back of your cupboards. You will leave with easy recipe ideas you can try at home as well as trying some delicious healthy snacks to help boost your energy ready for more festival fun. (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult). Come along and get inspired.
We will be there on both the 4th and 5th July. You can also find us at our stall where we will be showcasing all things surplus food, including tips on reducing food waste, how to become a Community Food Member, volunteering opportunities and much more.
Come along and find out how you can support the fight against food waste!
