Welcome to the website for the Umbrella Fair Organisation - a Northampton-based community co-operative of local people promoting sustainable living and community cohesion.
Our original focus on this site was the promotion of the annual Umbrella Fair Festival. Over the past few years however, our community activity has expanded signficantly to include providing energy advice to Northampton residents, monthly Tea On The Lawn events and the re-development of the ground floor of The Pavilion in The Racecourse park. As a result, this website will be expanded to include information on all our community work.
It is worth mentioning that as you read about the many different activities we currently have planned, that all are made possible by the dedication and committment of local volunteers and donors - and we're talking 'willing' volunteers here, not people we recruited using methods more associated with an 18th century press gang (younger readers can look this up on Google).
To all our volunteers, donors and supporters, we thank you.
