We’re hosting a Green Day (not the band) at the Old Fire Station on Saturday 21st March 2026, from 10.30am to 1pm, and we’d love you to be involved.

Green Day will celebrate brilliant organisations in Oxford that offer alternatives to buying new and have a strong ethical and environmental focus; think repair cafés, thrift shops, seed swaps and crafts. There will be information tables, interactive and family-friendly activities and workshops throughout the morning.

Organisations present on the day:

  • The Social Bunch Flower Farm: A new social enterprise based just outside of Oxford. We work with nature to provide low allergy British grown flowers and foliage, and work with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers across Oxfordshire. We’ll be offering a seed swap and making seed bombs.

  • The Makery: A non-profit community craft workshop and ‘Sustainable Stash’ with workshops and Makers Markets to promote making and build a local creative community.

  • CAG: We will be presenting a replenish program focused on reducing household food waste, with educational activities.
  • Broken Spoke: A not-for-profit registered as a Community Benefit Society with charitable aims of improving access to cycling in and around Oxford, will be running a Bike Repair station.

  • Greenpeace Oxon: The local Greenpeace volunteer group, here to chat about energy and power, and offering a windmill craft.

  • Cherwell Collective: We work to reduce the carbon footprint of our community and build climate resilience.

  • Low Carbon Hub: A social enterprise that’s out to prove we can meet our energy needs in a way that’s good for people and the planet.

  • A clothes thrift run by the Old Fire Station – all donations are supporting our Big Give Arts for Impact campaign
  • A stall on the fantastic indie organisations who supply our Cafe: Yellow Submarine, Jericho Coffee Traders, Eumelia
