WOULDN’T IT BE WONDERFUL IF THERE WERE SOMEWHERE TO TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FREE?
An event, with no hidden costs for things like food and drink, entertainment or goods? What if this event was not only ABSOLUTELY FREE but also helped towards caring for the environment by reducing waste and caring for the community by bringing people together to learn new skills?
Too good to be true – well please read on because we think we’ve cracked it!
In the past, markets were more like fairs – as much about social gatherings and entertainment as about trading goods. Nowadays the word ‘market’ is associated with money-making and fairs are often very expensive. So, a few of us have decided to keep the idea of an old-fashioned market, but get rid of the money bit – and we are calling this event a Share Fair.
A Share Fair is like a market or Fair … but everything is ABSOLUTELY FREE! A Money-Free-Zone where EVERYONE is WELCOME to share and swap skills, stuff and stories.
How does it work?
We all have things in our homes that we no longer need – good stuff that is sitting unused and taking up valuable space. We all have clothes we have grown out of (or never worn!) that someone else could use but stays hanging in our wardrobe. All this stuff we can bring to a Share Fair and swap.
We all have skills we can share – some of us play musical instruments, or are excellent knitters, or good cooks. Some of us are experienced vegetable growers, dog-trainers or song-writers. Some of us mend things, build things or create things. Some of can draw well, or speak different languages or hula hoop! All of us are good at something – even if that something is being friendly for half an hour and listening to somebody who is a bit lonely.
And we all have a story to tell – all of us enjoy a good natter from time to time, especially with somebody who can tell us new ideas, or useful information or old stories about where we live. At a Share Fair we have comfortable seating areas with free tea and coffee where people can sit and chat.
