The Maidstone CAN Zone is a themed showcase that runs alongside our monthly Repair Café — bringing together local projects, people, and ideas that make climate and environmental action inspiring and accessible. Each month has a different theme and a range of stands, activities, and conversations to spark your curiosity and help you take practical steps for a greener future.
What to Expect
- Up to 20 exhibitor stands offering insights, inspiration, and ways to get involved.
- A footfall of 250 or more visitors spread between the repair cafe and the zone.
- A relaxed, welcoming space to meet local environmental groups and individuals looking after ourselves and our locality.
- Opportunities to learn, share, and connect with others who care about climate, nature, sustainability, health, and community action.

Nature
