Shop eco-friendly Christmas gifts and enjoy delicious sustainable food at this community celebration with music, Santa's grotto, and more!
Whether you're looking to reduce waste this Christmas season or just hoping to enjoy a lovely community celebration with delicious food, activities, brilliant vendors, live music, and more , No Waste Noel is the place for you. We have an incredible programme in the works that is sure to bring Christmas cheer to all ages.
At Cherwell Collective, CIC , we understand that accessible environmentally friendly gifts and habits can be hard to reach during the holiday season. We are here to help!
You can look forward to:
- Eco- Vendors : Local vendors who sell gift-worthy products sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The vendors ALL use some form of recycled, upcycled, repaired, or sustainable material in their products to reduce waste and respect the planet. We offer these vendors a stall at our market without commission or fees; we love to support local artisans making a difference.
- Gift Swap : Clean out your unwanted, but gift-worthy items from your home and exchange them for treasures of similar value. It's a brilliant way to find special gifts for your loved ones while cutting down on waste. Feel free to bring any small, gift-appropriate items – clothes, accessories, books, homemade crafts, music, and more. If you don't have anything to swap you can shop the selection with a minimum £4 donation.
- Sustainable Food : Climatarian Kitchen will be serving delicious, traditional Christmas Market foods made from 100% surplus and locally-grown foods. This surplus perfect-condition food has been saved from landfill from supermarkets, restaurants, or suppliers who had excess stock that they were unable to use.
- Live Music : Enjoy local musicians sharing collections of your favourite carols, tunes, and jingles of the holiday season.
- Santa's Grotto
Stay tuned for updates on additional activities and happenings as we get closer to the event date!
