The EcoVillage

The Ecovillage is an exhibition area taken to existing large scale events dedicated to promoting 'green' products, services and initatives to the widest possible audience. Be a part of The EcoVillage! While exhibiting a stall is often a great way to promote an organisation to a large number of people in a short space of time, setting up at large events, such as County Shows, carries the risk of the stall getting lost in the crowd. By being in isolation at a large event, you may not stand out enough to attract many people, resulting in an inadequate return on the money you invested to exhibit. One option may simply be to go for smaller events � perhaps even ones dedicated to the environment. But while this is a good idea to target specific customers, everyone knows that in these challenging times, Ethical and Green organisations sorely need to expand and reach out to new people.

That�s why they set up The EcoVillage, to give Green and Ethical organisations a distinct area to exhibit to huge audiences at big events. The EcoVillage is highly visible and heavily promoted within each show or event. Being a part of The Eco Village has enabled exhibitors to engage with a wide range of people, and educate them about their products and services - while also broadening people�s awareness of the importance of building a sustainable future together.

This approach has been a big success for many of The EcoVillage exhibitors. An overwhelming majority of them come back every year to sign up to future events.

The EcoVillage is not just about creating a space for Green and Ethical companies to sell products and services while getting their message out there. The EcoVillage aims to give the exhibitor as much support as possible throughout the experience. They pride themselves on a very personal approach, ensuring that the additional support mechanisms are in place so there�s always someone for you to call at any stage to answer your questions. During the event The Ecovillage team will be ever-present to assist with whatever you need, from putting up your marquee to introducing you to people that may be interested in your organisation.

One of the additional benefits The EcoVillage provides for you is the community it creates. It�s an opportunity to network with like-minded organisations; share experiences and potentially set up joint ventures. The EcoVillage this year will be at the following venues: 1-3rd May - Kent County Fair, The Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent. 10-12th June - South of England Show, Ardingly, West Sussex. 16-20th June - BBC Gardeners World Live, NEC, Birmingham. 16-18th July - Kent County Show, Kent Showground, Detling, nr. Maidstone, Kent.
