Café Transition 
Café Transition is a place where ideas to facilitate transition to a more sustainable world can be explored in a relaxed and friendly environment. Café Transition aims to listen, learn, discuss…then do! The events are roughly every 4-6 weeks, and have been held at the Torrs Butterfly House Café at 8pm on a Thursday following the Food Hub. Check out forthcoming events on the Café Transition Facebook page.
Previous Café Transition events have included:
- Extinction Rebellion High Peak: Climate change/Heading for extinction & what to do
- All That Waste: guidance on how waste and recycling is managed locally,Rethink Plastic High Peak pointing the way to reducing our waste, and New Mills Litterpick Party describing their work and introducing the New Mills Spring Clean.
- People Powered Retrofit: improving comfort and lowering carbon in existing housing, with a focus on local resources from Manchester’s Carbon Coop project, and Eco-Retrofit to a house in New Mills.
Transition Drinks
Usually the third Thursday of each month, 7:45pm at the Royal Oak Pub, Market Street, New Mills.
- Members of Transition New Mills, as well as anyone else who wants to come along, get together for a drink and to have a chat. The event is an informal way of learning more about Transition New Mills, to discuss ideas and meet like-minded people. Everyone is welcome.
