Abingdon real nappy fair
Another real nappy fair will be held this weekend in Abingdon to let parents find out more how washable nappies can save them money and help the environment.
The event will take place at The Northcourt Centre in Abingdon on Saturday 21 May from 2pm to 4pm (not on 28 May as originally advertised). The afternoon session is organised by the ladies that supply real nappies with the backing of Oxfordshire Waste Partnership (OWP).
