SIDMOUTH ECO HUB: APRIL: ACTIVE TRAVEL:
Saturday 12th March @ the Tourist Information Centre: 11am – 1pm
Saturday 26th March @ Sidmouth Library: 11am – 1pm
Active Travel @ Sidmouth Eco Hub – Promoting Walking and Cycling
It’s all about ‘Active Travel’ at the Sidmouth Eco Hub in April.
At its stalls on Saturday 12th at the Tourist Information Centre and on Saturday 26th at the
Library, the focus will be on ‘Promoting Walking and Cycling’ in the Sid Valley.
And so the Eco Hub regulars will be joined by the Sidmouth & East Devon Walking Festival
and the Sidmouth Cycling Campaign.
The Cycling Campaign is also planning on holding a free raffle for visitors. Plus, they hope
to provide practical advice on how to lock up bikes securely and give cyclists a checklist for
safety checks on their own bikes.
Also up will be a slideshow on screen showing cycle rides and the Sid Valley Cycle Club
website – plus an A1 map of the Sid Valley, with rights of way.
There will also be an advance copy of the 2025 Walking Festival Programme, plus some ED
Ramblers stickers & pencils for children.
It should be a busy and intersting session.
