Give and take at a Newtown summer sharefest event

Open Energy, a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, is inviting local residents to a free Summer Sharefest Event.

It will take place at Hafan Yr Afon, Newtown, on Sunday, May 31 from 12pm.

This community Sharefest will be an environmentally friendly and family-friendly event focused on reducing waste and supporting the circular economy.

Those going along can give or take clothes, books, plants, and toys.

A spokesperson said: “Bring something you no longer need and give it away or simply come along and take something you could use. Maximum five items per donation!”

The event will include a Swap Shop for clothes, books, plants, toys, and Creative Stuff Newtown's Open Tuniveristy- choose a second-hand vinyl from the 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s and have it played for you.

The event will end with an hour of disco music and dancing, with all tracks selected by members of the public, “the Let’s go round again Disco”!
