Warm Up for Winter at the Sustainability Trust’s market day
Get ahead of the cold with
Sustainability Trust’s Winter Warm Up Market next weekend,
for Wellingtonians who like their shopping local, ethical
and eco-friendly.
Sustainability Trust’s EcoCentre in Forresters Lane will be transformed into a cosy space for people to shop for home and family and learn about how to keep their homes warm and dry this winter.
The Warm Up for Winter Market will be held on Saturday, April 9 from 10am to 2pm with the first 50 people through the door gifted goody bags.
Marketgoers can expect to see delicious offerings from Wellington Chocolate Factory, Lady Lemon and Community Fruit Wellington, clothing from Hoopla Kids, homewares from Niche Textile Studio and Verdant Design, cosmetics from Sante, and Sustainability Trust’s own range of eco-friendly goods.
There will also be an electric car there for people to try out – we’re not selling them, we just want people to feel the greener vroom – and Rides Ltd talking about their ride-sharing app.
Sustainability Trust’s home experts will be giving DIY demonstrations on ways to make your homes warmer through the day and be on site to answer questions about insulation, heating and draught-proofing.
And of course, there will be food and coffee on offer.
“Winter shouldn’t be a struggle,” says Sustainability Trust spokesperson Rena Kohere. “We’re hosting this market because we want Wellingtonians to celebrate all the good things in life, like delicious food, cheerful company and a cosy house to go home to.
“Whether you own your house, rent, or are a landlord, there will be lots at our market to help people get more out of their homes, for less. From handmade door-snakes, to the latest in solar technology, we’ve got lots of products and info to help make winter fun.”
