Here are a few of the events that have taken place since the NXCA was formed. Community gatherings took a pause during Covid-19, but happily the EcoFest is now back up and running and is now becoming an established annual event. Please keep an eye on this page for details of future events.

Nevilles Cross Eco Festival 2019
This year's Eco Festival took place on the green behind St John's Church, Neville's Cross on Sunday 16th June 2019 and our theme for this year was Local Food.
This is a colourful, local community festival that aims to inform and encourage people to live more sustainably and to raise awareness about world justice issues. It is also a very enjoyable community event, a gathering place, and a day of music, craft, games, food - a festival that we know has grown into one of the highlights of the Durham summer!
