Family & Friends Single Use Plastic Free PICNIC

Friday 9th July 12noon – 3pm

The WSFWI Public Affairs committee and the Climate Change Ambassadors are inviting WI Members, family & friends to join a WI picnic in Oaklands Park, behind the Chichester Festival Theatre, OR to hold their own single use plastic free picnic in their local area. We all recognize that plastic has a value to us and is a useful resource, however as part of the WI plastics campaign, we want to raise awareness of the overuse of SINGLE USE plastics, their effects on our environment and on Climate change.

Please note: Due to the government delay in lifting the Coronavirus restrictions, the Picnic will now be a ticketed event limited to 30 people.

This event is free of charge but booking is now required because of the restricted numbers.
Tickets available from 07927 513882 matwell10@gmail.com or from
Chichester Festival boxoffice@chichester.gov.uk 01243 816525.

Please organise your own picnics and try and make it as single use plastic free as possible. Let as many people as you can know about this to raise awareness but please remember Coronavirus restrictions limiting groups meeting outside to a maximum of 30 are in place until at least 19th July.
Please let the federation know of your plans – we want this to be a special day for the WI in West Sussex
