Barton’s Great Big Green Week is a community festival hosted by Slow Circular Earth UK. Raising awareness for climate change in Barton-Upon-Humber and surrounding villages and this year running from September 24 to October 2.

Organised by members of the community, the Green Week will be a celebration of everything people in Barton are doing to improve our local environment and tackle climate change. Included in the week is The Ropewalk’s first Eco-Craft Fair on Sunday, September 25 from 10am to 4pm.

The first Great Big Green Week took place last year between September 18 and 26 and nationally was the largest event for climate and nature ever seen in the UK.

More than 5000 events celebrated how communities were taking action to tackle climate change and protect green spaces, and encouraged others to get involved too.
