Stalls
As well as many activities to take part in, there will be information stalls and some items for sale e.g. seeds, seedlings, pots etc. We limit the amount of stalls selling as the festival is about sharing information, having a go and comming together as a community of Nottingham. Some of the stalls will be selling to raise money for community projects so if you can, please support them.
