About the Event
Started by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour is now one of the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment. Held every year on the last Saturday of March, Earth Hour engages millions of people in more than 190 countries and territories, switching off their lights to show support for our planet.
Shaftesbury's candlelight concert will be preceded by drinks, nibbles and the chance to learn more. Hosted by St Peter's, donations are invited and will go towards building toilets in communities around the world and to the World Wildlife Fund.
