What’s On


Eat the Streets Market


Come and visit the Eat the Streets Market, featuring Codema, Climate Action DCC, The Kingfisher project, Mossy (Nature Connects), Food Cloud, Animal Welfare, South City Parthnerships and Bloomin' Crumlin.

Change Clothes: “One Garment, One Promise”

Change Clothes will deliver an interactive, climate-focused clothing reuse activation titled “One Garment, One Promise.” Instead of a traditional swap (which requires attendees to bring clothes), this model removes barriers to participation and is designed specifically for open, high-footfall community events.

How it works: * 4 rails of high-quality, pre-loved clothing.

  • Visitors are invited to take one free garment.

  • In return, they engage in a short micro-learning moment about textile waste (20 seconds, conversational).

  • Each participant makes one simple, achievable climate promise (e.g. repair one item, buy second-hand first, wear what they own longer).

  • Promises are written and displayed on a visible pledge wall or fabric installation throughout the day.

 

Workshops

Workshops


Natural Beauty (Booking required)


Join our beginner friendly workshop where you will learn the benefits of body scrubs, including enhanced skin texture, increased circulation, and reduced inflammation. You will get hands on experience making body scrubs using sustainable ingredients and practice srubbing techniques with emphasis on appropriate pressure and circular motion. (Bring along a small pot or jar to take your creations home)

 


Festive Headwear Workshop (Children & Families)


Turn your clothes into a wearable feast. In this playful workshop, we’ll patchwork stylised food motifs - think bold fruit, comfort-food icons, and graphic treats - onto pre-loved garments. Using scrap fabrics and simple appliqué techniques, you’ll add personality, colour, and a pinch of humour to clothing in need of a refresh. No sewing experience needed - just an appetite for making, and please bring along an item of clothing you'd like to work.

 


Tie dye with Lollipop Apparel (Booking required):


A fun, colourful and high-energy workshop where participants can create their own unique tie-dye t-shirt as part of the Eat the Streets Festival. This is not your average tie-dye session — expect great vibes, creativity, and a lively atmosphere as attendees learn bold tie-dye techniques and experiment with vibrant colour combinations. All materials are provided, including a t-shirt and dyes, making it an easy and enjoyable experience for anyone looking to add a splash of colour to their wardrobe.
