Penrith's Great Big Green Week 2026
Get ready for a week packed fill of community-wide events celebrating climate action, nature, and sustainability
Penrith's Great Big Green Week
6th - 14th June 2026
Great Big Green Week is the UK’s largest annual celebration of everyday action to tackle climate change and protect nature. This June, Penrith is joining the national movement and coming ‘Together for Good’.
What to Expect
Throughout the week, Penrith will host a programme of community-wide events celebrating sustainability and nature. Expect family nature activities, Open Farm Sunday, balsam bashing, the Penrith Repair Café, litter picks, climate conversations and much more to be announced.
We believe that taking action takes many shapes and forms, and we hope that the programme can demonstrate just that. You do not need to be an environmental expert to take part!
Want to get involved?
We believe that climate action and nature is for everyone. We want the whole community to have the opportunity to get involved, whether that be a public event, private activity or showing support with green hearts. Click here to learn more
