Don’t miss this opportunity to stand up for sustainability. Join us for Great Big Green Week. Check our events pages for all of the activities.

Are you a local organisation or business? Join in and be part of the celebration!

We will have stalls in St Martin’s Walk for local organisations. The numbers are limited and are secured on a first come first serve basis.

Organisations and business can also build their Great Big Green Week presence around SWITCHING habits – such as walking to work instead of driving, or buying locally grown instead of flown produce. There are lots of easy small switches we can all make which together make a big difference.

Or your involvement might focus on SHARING information, advice, volunteering or skills which help us all to be more eco-aware or nature focused.

About Great Big Green Week 2025

The Great Big Green Week is the UK’s biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Every year, people come together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet. Tens of thousands of people in every corner of the country celebrate the heartfelt, brave, everyday actions being taken to stand up for nature and fight climate change, through all kinds of Great Big Green Week events.

Events can incorporate clothes or book swaps, skill swaps in allotments or repair cafés, knowledge swaps about climate change, or promote habits we can swap to play our part in protecting the planet.
