Our Thame Green Business Expo is rapidly approaching! Join us as we welcome 18 exhibitors and 3 guest speakers to help you get started on or develop your sustainability journey.
Date, time and location:

Thursday 16 March
11am - 2pm
Thame Town Hall
In partnership with Thame Town Council and Oxfordshire Greentech, South Oxfordshire District Council is hosting Thame's first Green Business Expo to highlight the brilliant sustainable approaches of local businesses in and around Thame.

We want to help further develop a 'Green Business Community' in South Oxfordshire, to engage businesses in tackling the climate emergency, and provide ideas, advice and peer support for all businesses that are trying to become more environmentally sustainable.

 
The event is free to attend for all organisations looking to get started on their sustainability journey, or develop the ideas they have so far put in place. There is no commitment to stay for the full three hours - simply drop in when you can.

This business-to-business event will allow you to engage with the Thame Green Living Plan and find out more about how your business can get involved with upcoming projects. You’ll also hear from 3 guest business speakers and be able to find out more about local resources and organisations to support your sustainability journey.

You can find out how to lower your energy bills, cut carbon emissions and generate clean energy, as well as listen to great stories from our guest speakers on what they have achieved and how they can help other organisations. You'll also be able to network and explore potential business opportunities with 18 exhibitors.

Our exhibitors specialise in electric vehicles, sustainable uniform, consultancy, local groups, apprenticeships, architecture and interior design, reusable sanitary products, events and more.

We are aware that some schools may be closed due to teacher strikes on 16 March, so please feel free to bring your children with you.
