Frome’s Great Big Green Week 2021
Join us this September 18th – 26th for The Great Big Green Week which will see a host of events celebrating how the Frome community is taking action to tackle climate change and protect our green spaces.
This November the UK is hosting a major UN climate summit, known as COP26, where politicians will set out how they plan to fulfil their promise of reducing greenhouse gases across the world. In the run up to this, The Great Big Green Week will set the stage for the most ambitious climate summit ever.
A nationwide event, The Great Big Green Week provides the perfect opportunity to show decision makers that people from all walks of life are stepping up to take action on climate change – and we need them to step up too.
As part of the week we’re inviting local residents to create art, poetry and stories to deliver Frome’s message to the leaders of COP26. Tell us why you love our green spaces, our planet and the action you want to see from our leaders to protect it. Please bring your creations to Frome Town Hall where they will be displayed throughout Great Big Green Week.
Please note that some events are ticketed will need to be booked in advance on our Great Big Green Week ticket page.
