Local artists, Cece Luna have been creating a series of costumes called the Plastic Parade entirely created from plastic packaging which would have otherwise gone to landfill because it is not currently recycled on the doorstep which will be unveiled during Green Week Thurrock, as well as some exciting eco-craft tutorials which they will be sharing via their blog; https://ceceluna.co.uk/blog/ and Instagram @cecelunacostumes

We are also excited to announce the Green Week Thurrock Eco Fayre which will take place on Sunday 26th September 2021 from 11am to 3pm in Grays Town Park, organised in collaboration with Friends of Grays Town Park, The Refill Cabin and Thurrock Festival.
