Biodiversity Zone
What is Biodiversity? It is the rich variety of life all around us. From tiny organisms in the soil, to insects, birds, mammals, gardens, woodlands, our food, and us – all are inter-dependent. And all are in trouble. Along with climate change, biodiversity loss is a global crisis. The good news is – everybody can help.
The Biodiversity Zone is designed to inform and inspire us about nature and how to protect it.


The Biodiversity Zone is designed to inform and inspire us about nature and how to protect it. It is located in the semi-wild garden of Hill House, 54 South Street, CO11 1BQ.

Clothes & Household Zone
“Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want”
So, what kind of world do you want? If you want a world that is more caring towards the planet, then join us upstairs at the Red Lion Pub. There are three things to enjoy:
1. A great mix of local, small business owners selling quality vintage clothes, eco-friendly baby and household items.
2. A fantastic range of speakers sharing how they changed their attitude to consumption – hear tips on how to value what you already have and how to spend less
3. Customise your clothes – bring along some worn or tired clothes (e.g. old pair of jeans or a jumper with a hole in the elbow) and our seamstresses will work their magic .. leave with a new outfit!

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
How can you reduce and recycle your rubbish so less goes to landfill or pollutes rivers and the oceans? Tendring District Council collects nearly half a tonne of rubbish from each person each year and about 45% is recycled – not as good as the best district at 70%. Recycling schemes like Tendring Primary Recycle deal with many items not recycled by the Council. Manningtree has gained Plastic Free Community status – Mistley and Lawford are not far behind. More shops are providing recycle and refill facilities. .

Wellbeing & Therapies
The Wellness and Therapies Zone offers the chance to experience and learn ways in which we can “Reconnect to What Sustains Us”; the myriad of ways in which we can optimise our health and wellness physically, emotionally and mentally. Reconnecting to what sustains us begins with a healthy body, a healthy heart, a healthy mind. When we feel vital, alive and radiant we gain a deeper understanding of our role in this ecosystem and we are better able to live harmoniously within our environment.
This Zone offers an opportunity to meet and learn from the plethora of wellbeing practitioners, therapists and instructors we have available right on our doorstep. A chance to try a therapy, experience a treatment, join a class, and take away some health and wellbeing tips inspiring you to create a life of wellness.
