Two days of free events to inspire, connect and celebrate sustainable living in Chester.
We have been bringing our community together around sustainability for six years now (the name might have changed) every year the energy, ideas and connections that come out of it remind us why it matters so much. We hope to see you there, whether for five minutes or the whole day.
Chester Green Festival is nearly here and this year we have two very different days to offer. Come and find us outdoors this Sunday 7th June, then join us for a full day of free workshops and talks on Saturday 14th June.
Everything is free. Everything is for you.
We’re so excited to share what’s coming up for our sixth event, part of The Climate Coalition’s Great Big Green Week. Whether you want to browse, learn, make, fix, cycle, or simply soak up the atmosphere, there’s something here for everyone — and did we mention? It’s all free. 🌿
Come and find us on Sunday — and please do book for the 14th. The workshops especially are ones you genuinely won’t want to miss.
Kick off the festival with a buzzing outdoor celebration in the heart of Chester — join us in Town Hall Square and Exchange Square alongside Taste Cheshire and Active Travel Fest.
