A PLASTIC-FREE street party will take place in Wimborne town centre this September.
Representatives from Wimborne War on Waste (WWOW) will host the event to celebrate residents dedicated to reducing single-use plastic.
Members of the committee hope the town will soon be awarded ‘plastic free’ community status by charity Surfers Against Sewage.
Sarah Wise of WWOW said activities will take place in the Square, the High Street and on the Minster Green during the street party.
“There will be stalls, live music, games, radio shows, a solar-powered disco, a repair cafe, a clothing switch-it stall, balloon alternatives and much, much more,” she said.
“This event is about inspiring, enabling, sharing ideas and celebrating those businesses, groups and individuals who have already made significant changes in their use of single use plastic.
“It is also about supporting those who may never have considered reducing their single use plastic before, and offering simple ideas, swaps and alternatives so that everyone can start to make changes, no matter how small."
The party will take place on Saturday, September 22 between noon and 4pm.
