There will also be live music, children’s entertainment and free workshops where people can learn to make items out of reuseable home items.
The team behind Nothing But Footprints, Daniel Ludlow and Violeta Martin Garcia, have decided to hold the Green Fair to celebrate running the award-winning store for five years.
Daniel Ludlow and Violeta Martin Garcia said: “Choosing to live a sustainable life isn’t always easy, but it’s so rewarding.

“A big thank you to those within our community that are supporting this event, including Banbury CAG, Banbury, Graf UK, Banbury XR and of course Lock29 for allowing us to hold the event within their premises.”
Nothing But Footprints, located in Castle Quay, is now the largest zero-waste shop in Oxfordshire and sells over 1,200 sustainable sourced products.
Stuart McGregor, manager of Lock29, said: “When Dan came to me with this idea, I jumped at the opportunity for it to be held at Lock29 – it fits so perfectly with our philosophy of supporting small, independent businesses that operate as efficiently and consciously as possible.
