Green Festival

Broxtowe's Green Festivals

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 and groups, there are plenty of fun activities for all ages - including arts and crafts, music, local food vendors and games.

Green Festival 2024

If you enjoyed Hemlock Happening’s Green Zone or are curious about living sustainably, why not attend the Green Festival on Saturday 21 September at Coronation Park, Eastwood 12pm-3pm.

Last year, more than 300 people joined us at our Green Festival 2023 to learn about how we can be more environmentally friendly and tackle climate change, whilst supporting local businesses and community groups. 

We had a brilliant range of stallholders from food, to arts and crafts, and even pedal powered smoothie making! With over 30 stalls it was the biggest Green Festival Broxtowe Borough Council has hosted and we're hoping that this year will be even better.

So far, stallholders that will be joining us to share advice on living sustainable lifestyles include:

  • The Environment Agency
  • The Woodland Trust
  • Lesley’s Vegan Bakes
  • The Butterfly Conservation
  • NG16 Help for Hedgehogs
  • The Green Doctor
  • And many more!

If you didn’t get a chance to attend last year or if you’re interested in having a stall to promote your sustainable business or community group, please refer to the Stallholders Booking Form 2024  at the bottom of this page or get in touch at: environment@broxtowe.gov.uk

When we come together to act on climate change, we can all make a big impact. #SmallChangeBigDifference

Green Festival Schools Competition 

New for 2024 all primary schools in the Borough  have been invited to take part in the very first Green Festival school competition.

Children have been asked to create a piece of artwork or a creative piece of writing relating to the environment.

All entries will be judged with the winners announced at the Green Festival itself!
