Sat May 22...be there

Welcome to THE SoURCE - your eco fair in the heart of Moseley.
Each quarter we will be bringing together the best of Birmingham's creative community, with an emphasis on local sourcing, eco, fair trade, vintage and green goods. Our first fair is on Saturday May 22 at The Moseley Exchange
Fairs throughout the year will unite small-scale producers and recyclers, offering a platform to promote sustainability.
We believe in spreading the LOVE:

buy Local
buy Original
buy Vintage
buy Ethical

We have a fantastic line-up for our first fair, showcasing the best of Birmingham's eco, vegan and creative communities.

Stallholders so far include:

Creative Open Workshops: offer a range of artist-led workshops to encourage people of all ages to learn a new creative skill

V*Edge: delicious vegan friendly catering for your big day or special event

Mama Jo's Bakery: vegan cupcakes - a sell-out every time so make sure you arrive early for this stall...

T.K.R Smoothies: with a forecast promising a hot sunny day, these freshly made smoothies should prove most refreshing!
