Get involved in Chester Green Weekend

Helen Tandy, Director, Eco Communities

As an Ambassador for Chester Great and Small, we decided to bring some existing events together under ‘Chester Green Weekend’ as part of the national Great Big Green Week (GBGW), something we have supported since its launch by The Climate Coalition.

Our event brings together various sustainable activities, including AT Fest, Green Expo and our Sustainable Cheshire Fair which has moved with GBGW to June from September. With the fantastic help of We love Good Times and Reasonably Good.

You still have time to take part, we are looking for activities, workshops, walks, stalls, food and entertainment to take place all within the walkable City of Chester. The weekend event we want to be free to attend, although some special activities can include a charge, such as work shops.

Many people are becoming more conscious of their impact on the environment and are looking for ways to live more sustainably. One way to do this is by buying and selling second-hand items, which not only reduces waste but also saves resource and energy that would be used to create new products.

Do you have any pre loved items at home you want to pass on? Why not take part in our first Luggage Rummage… A great push for a bit of a home declutter as well…

We will be distributing 10,000 copies of a special Chester Green Weekend Map. See example of an existing We Love Good Times Map. to promote the event in the run up.

We are fully committed to promoting and bringing more people into Chester, engaging them with the Climate Emergency and the fantastic sustainable businesses, projects and organisations in our region.

With activities in Grosvenor Park, Town Hall Square and at the Oh Design Foundation we have so much going on.

We have space for more businesses and organisations. It would be great if you would get involved:

– Financially (support our Crowdfunder )

– Organising an activity whether in your business premises or in Grosvenor Park (BOOK A STALL)

– Promoting the event to your contacts.

- Get your ticket early -- (BOOK)
