The high cost of energy and concerns about climate change are making householders look around for ways to reduce consumption.  For the first time in Bovey, we've created an informal meeting space for people get answers from the experts to the questions they have.

The next Climate Cafe will be open from 9.30am to 1pm on Saturday May 24th.  If it proves popular, it will become a regular feature in the town, opening on the same Saturdays as the Farmer's market.
