Light Fantastic Visits Arnold Carnival

More than 600 people received free low energy lightbulbs at Arnold Carnival in Gedling on 19th and 20th June.

Marches Energy Agency's (MEA) Light Fantastic was on hand to give out more than 1000 of the lightbulbs and advice about energy efficiency to festival-goers at the busy event in Arnot Hill Park which was organised by Gedling Borough Council.

Caroline Harmon of MEA said: ' The response to the stand was great: at the busiest times we couldn't give out the bulbs fast enough. Lots of people also wanted advice about the range of low energy light bulbs available and we were able to help them with this. We also set up our giant snake and ladders-style board game which was popular with children and helped them to learn about lowering carbon emissions.'
