Sustainable Christmas fairs

With all that excess packaging and wrapping, Christmas can be wasteful – but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to a number of thrifty fairs popping up around London, green-gifting has never been easier. For minimal-waste workshops and sustainable shopping, head to London’s Sustainable Christmas Market (1 December) or London’s Annual Zero Waste Christmas Market (7 December) for some of the UK’s biggest sustainable brands and eco-trailblazers, with wreath-making, soap-making and upcycling workshops.
