Green Festival
What is a Green Festival?
Our Green Festivals are a series of events designed to educate and engage with communities, helping them to make more sustainable choices in their day-to-day lives.
The events are free to attend, and with various stalls managed by local people, small businesses, charities and groups, there are plenty of fun activities for all ages - including arts and crafts, music, local food vendors and games.
