Green Festival returns to Eastwood for fourth year
500 of you joined us last year for a fantastic afternoon full of free interactive activities. With even more in store, this year’s event promises to be the best Green Festival yet.
New to this year's festival will be a car boot sale - there is limited availability for stalls, please contact the Environment Team if you are interested at environment@broxtowe.gov.uk.
Providing advice, tips and tools to help us take care of our planet and ourselves in a way that’s fun for the whole family, the Green Festival is a fun and accessible way to learn how we can be more sustainable. It’s also a great opportunity to support local charities, businesses, and community groups.
We’ll have a wide variety of stalls and free activities from 12:00pm – 3:00pm including:
- The Wee Donkey Company – free donkey petting.
- Free Facepainting by Eileen C.
- Make your own free smoothie with Pulp Friction's smoothie bike.
- Free sewing sessions with Mary Broddle’s Embroidery.
- Free minor bike repairs and services from Dr. Bike.
- Free energy saving advice from Green Doctor.
- Community groups, including Broxtowe Women’s Project, Friends of Bennerley Viaduct, and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
- Food and drink provided by Veggies Catering, Bear and Sweet Co., and Frothy’s Coffee.
- Free cowslip and primrose plugs from the Council's Parks and Open Spaces Team.
- Visit our Waste and Recycling Team and sit in one of our refuse trucks.
- Free clothes, toys, shoes, and books from our pre-loved stall.
- And much more!
Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change, Councillor Helen Skinner, said “I’m proud to see that our Green Festival is returning for its fourth year. I look forward to seeing families join us for a lovely day out where they can learn a bit about the small changes we can all make for a big difference to our environment. Climate change is a serious issue, and this festival provides a wonderful opportunity to discuss it in ways that are engaging for everyone. Let’s work together to look after our Borough for future generations.”
Residents are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport to get to this event. The rainbow one bus service and the 34 bus service, run by Trent Barton, travel directly past Coronation Park. However, if you do need to drive, limited event parking is available on site.
