Record numbers of visitors mark Festival of Thrift’s return this year.
Visitors flocked to this years’ Festival of Thrift in their thousands as the nationally renowned celebration of sustainable living made a hugely welcome return to the village of Kirkleatham near Redcar.
A record-breaking 50,000 festivalgoers from all over the UK enjoyed a packed programme of performances, activities, workshops, talks and stalls alongside stalls from ethical independent traders at the award-winning event which focuses on bringing people together to have fun and share ways to live without harming the planet.
Tees Valley Nature Partnership hosted the “Enlightentent” which was the talks tent at the festival with talks including: The Build Up to Greener Construction, Why we Oughta Treasure our Water, Seaspiracy – Fishing for the Truth, Rewilding – What is it all about? And does it really matter?, and much more.
