Great Big Green Week

The Great Big Green Week events

Runnymede Borough Council would like to join forces with its local communities to celebrate the Great Big Green Week  from 8 to 16 June 2024

We are planning our own events, and we would also love to collate and promote all the events being organised in the local area. Email climatechange@runnymede.gov.uk to let us know what you are planning and link your event to the ‘Runnymede Great Big Green Week’ when adding it to the Great Big Green Week website.

We will be regularly updating these pages in the lead up to Great Big Green Week 2024. Stay tuned for information about events taking place in Runnymede or use this tool  from Great Big Green Week to find events happening near you! 

Kindly note that Runnymede Borough Council accepts no liability associated with events not directly organised by the council.
