Green Week

Penrith's Great Big Green Week

Penrith is proudly coming 'Together for Good'

A week long programme of events hosted by the community

What to Expect: Throughout the week, Penrith will host a packed programme of community-wide events celebrating sustainability and nature. Expect family nature activities, Open Farm Sunday, balsam bashing, the Penrith Repair Café, litter picks, poetic celebrations, cinema screenings, and much more. 

Each event will be run by our wonderful local groups, charities, and businesses, demonstrating the incredible power of our community uniting for the local environment. We believe that taking action takes many shapes and forms, and we hope this programme demonstrates just that. You do not need to be an environmental expert to take part…absolutely everyone is welcome to come along and join in!
