More than 100 people attended the Minehead Climate Fair, which featured over 20 local organisations.

The fair, held on September 28, was deemed a "phenomenal success" by organisers.

It offered a variety of ways to tackle climate change, save energy, and positively impact the environment.

Visitors were drawn to the fair not only for its lively atmosphere but also for the wealth of information and advice available.

Topics spanned from flood prevention and climate adaptation to ethical finance and regenerative farming.

Other attractions included a mini Repair Café, the National Trust's virtual beaver tour, and a stall by the Local Exchange and Trading Scheme, which demonstrated skill exchange within a community without using money.

Passers-by were invited by the youth organisation Stacked Wonky to contribute to their growing collection of plastic-free pledges, part of their ongoing campaign to raise awareness and reduce plastic use across the county.

The fair also hosted expert talks on various subjects, including community transport and sustainable land management.

Presenters and stallholders were impressed by the depth of interest and quality of discussions, reflecting the community's commitment to tackling climate change.
