Climate Change The Big Green Week

Climate Change Harrogate

Great Big Green Week

Join two million people coming together for good at thousands of events across the country!

Every year, for nine days each June, something special happens across the UK.

In towns, cities and villages, people come together to celebrate the places they love. It might be a nature walk, a repair café, a community meal, or something simple that brings people together.

That moment is called Great Big Green Week.

📅 6–14 June 2026 – mark the date in your calendar!

This year our theme is Together for Good. 

Together for Good means coming together over a shared week to send a powerful message: we care, we are acting, and together we want to see action for people, climate and nature.

Last year, 1.2 million people took part! This year, we’re building to make it even bigger. From nature festivals to repair cafes, community gardening to outdoor activities and everything in between – whether you are looking for something to do with children, want to meet up with friends or simply want to be part of something bigger, there is something for everyone.

And if you were part of Show the Love last month, sharing what matters most to you, Great Big Green Week is where that shared sense of care turns into visible, collective action in communities across the UK.
