NEW MILLS ONE WORLD FESTIVAL

The One World Festival, now in its twenty-first year, is an annual free festival about the

environment, international peace, world development and cultural diversity, held in our beautiful

High Lea Park. Have a great day out and meet campaigns and community organisations working

towards a fairer, more sustainable world. There will be children’s activities, live music in the

marquee all afternoon and delicious food, including vegetarian options.

Many groups will be bringing stalls and there will be speakers on this year’s theme,

Think Global – Act Local, focusing on local action in the High Peak to promote sustainable living

in the community in the light of the challenges posed by climate change and associated global

issues.

This year a drop-in carbon footprinting service will enable people to investigate their own CO2

footprint. This stall will also highlight reasons to mitigate climate change and identify

appropriate solutions. One of the New Mills High School’s stalls will show how pupils are acting

to reduce their school’s carbon footprint, developing a more sustainable school environment.

Torrs Hydro will show how it aims to help regenerate the community and promote the

environmental sustainability of the New Mills area. Just some of the interesting local initiatives

taking place. Find out about these and lots more.
