Join us for Dursley's first Sustainability Fair here at Kingshill House Creative Centre.

We're delighted to be running this fair in collaboration with Vegan Fairs. There will be a mixture of food stalls and other vegan products on sale. Some of the stall holders will also be giving talks in the House. Scroll down for more information on talks and times.

Inside the House, there will be different activities throughout the day; family activities, educational talks from leaders in sustainable living, seed giveaways from Wild Acres CIC, lip balm workshop from sustainable soap maker Seal, and activities from Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue. Some activities may incur a participation fee.

​We are also creating a Common Ground style map called 'The Big Green Map of Cam & Dursley'. People are invited to mark down any sustainable activity they know about, or are doing, in the local area. From beekeeping to growing vegetables in your garden. This is a great way to meet like-minded people and explore what else is going on in our area.

Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue

Wildhogs Talk and Family Activities

£2.00 - £5.00

2-3pm & 3-4pm


Wild Hogs Hedgehog Rescue is based in Frampton on Severn and cover Dursley and Cam and surrounding areas. The hedgehog rescue has been caring for sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs and hoglets since 2010.


Join Hospital Manager, Emily, as she shares photos of the hedgehogs in the rescue, talking about their conservation and how you can help hedgehogs in your own garden by creating hedgehog homes and how to make your garden more hedgehog friendly.


There will be three hedgehog themed activities for children:

  • Clay hedgehogs 
  • Hedgehog masks (both suitable for children over 5)
  • Hogstickle course (suitable for children over 3)


There are two time-slots, with limited availability. You can pre-book or pay on the day if there are spaces left.


One child per £5 ticket - adults are free. Additional siblings are £2.


Just for information, they don't bring live animals to talks. The hedgehogs in the hospital are sick or injured and easily stressed. They bring lots of photos, toys or games instead. Learning to appreciate wildlife in its natural environment without disturbance is an important part of conservation.
