Great Big Green Week in Leighton Buzzard — June 2026

A whole month of small, joyful, local climate action

 

Leighton Buzzard’s Great Big Green Week brings together local groups, volunteers and neighbours to celebrate nature, creativity and practical climate action. It’s a friendly, grassroots programme — lots of small events, all designed to help people connect, learn something new, and feel hopeful about the future.

 

⭐ What you can expect

- Creative activities — from recycled crafts to an art‑supplies swap running all month

- Inspiring films & talks — climate documentaries, local energy stories, and a talk on Bedfordshire’s birdlife

- Hands‑on nature experiences — family foraging, eco socials, and a summer solstice event

- Skills for everyday life — learn‑to‑ride cycling lessons, plus the monthly Repair Café

- Moments of joy — the “Green Joy in Unexpected Places” photo competition open all month

 

🌱 Why come along

- Everything is community‑led and open to all

- Events are small, friendly and low‑pressure — perfect for dropping in

- You’ll meet local people who care about making our town greener

- It’s a chance to try something new, learn a skill, or simply enjoy being part of something positive
