The free festival will bring together expert talks, eco stalls, workshops, arts, food and family-friendly activities across Chester Town Hall, Exchange Square and Picturehouse.
Residents from across Cheshire and visitors to the city are invited to take part in Chester Green Festival this June, a free two-part festival celebrating sustainability, creativity and community action.
Taking place on Sunday 7th June and Sunday 14th June across Chester Town Hall, Exchange Square and Picturehouse, the festival will feature expert talks, workshops, eco stalls, arts and crafts, food and drink, films and family-friendly activities designed to inspire practical action for a greener future.
Powered by Eco Communities UK and forming part of national Great Big Green Week, the festival will bring together local organisations, businesses, artists, campaigners and community groups from across the region to showcase practical ideas and positive solutions for greener living.
Festival organisers say the event is designed to be welcoming and accessible for everyone; whether people want practical tips for living more sustainably, opportunities to connect with local groups, or simply a fun and inspiring family day out.
The opening festival day on Sunday 7 June will launch the programme with community activities, creative events and opportunities for residents to explore local sustainability initiatives happening across Chester and Cheshire.
The second festival day on Sunday 14 June will expand the programme with a full day of talks, interactive workshops, eco stalls, repair and reuse initiatives, arts activities and community conversations focused on shaping a greener future for the city.
Helen Tandy, Founding Director of Eco Communities UK, said:
“Chester Green Festival is all about bringing people together to explore practical, positive ways we can create a greener future for our communities.
“We want people to leave feeling inspired and empowered – whether that’s discovering a local project, learning a new skill, making small changes at home or simply having conversations about the future we want for Chester.”
Visitors can expect a vibrant mix of expert speakers, local makers, sustainability organisations, creative workshops and hands-on activities covering topics including repair and reuse, food, nature, circular living and community resilience.
Built on the legacy of Green Expo 2022-4 and Chester Green Weekend 2025 for the national Great Big Green Week celebrations, the festival aims to highlight the growing number of community-led projects and organisations already helping Cheshire become a more sustainable and connected place to live.
