Inspiring our community to take small but mighty environmental actions together

Free Event Big Green Ideas Day 

26 April, 10am-3pm

This April we're opening our doors for another Sustainability Hub: Big Green Ideas Day.

Join us as we connect and inspire our community to take small but mighty environmental actions together.

Our Big Green Ideas Day is a vibrant gathering of ideas and individuals committed to sustainability, featuring our ‘Marketplace of Change’ with stalls showcasing eco-friendly practices and products. Attendees can also enjoy engaging arts and crafts activities, and clothes swaps - all free and open for everyone to drop in.

We proudly partner with businesses and organisations that prioritise sustainability, inspiring and empowering our visitors to live greener lives. Join us and be part of the movement toward a more sustainable future!
