Nottingham Green Festival 2026

Sunday 13 September 2026 | 12-6pm
Nottingham Arboretum
Free event

Nottingham Green Festival has been running for over 30 years and returns on Sunday 13 September 2026 at the Arboretum.

The Green Festival is a free event organised by volunteers and local community organisations. This fun-filled family-friendly event also has a serious intent – to share skills and knowledge to tackle the ongoing climate crisis, biodiversity loss and other environmental concerns.

There are lots of things to see and do including:

• Live music from local artists at The Bandstand. All cash donations raised at the bandstand during the event will go towards next year's event
• Family Zone including Doctor Bike – all activities free to children
• Vegan food
• Craft stalls featuring small green businesses
• Cookery demonstrations
• The Knowledge Garden by the Chinese bell – join in discussions about climate change and biodiversity

So get ready to come along to this great long-running event. Have some fun with the family and help to give the planet a safer future.

It's the place for everyone to learn, explore & try the latest in everything environmentally friendly & ethical, in the beautiful setting of the Arboretum Park.

Event by Nottingham Green Festival and Sumac Centre.

Nottingham Green Festival is organised by grass roots community based volunteers, not-for-profit and with no statutory funding. The ethical standards and sustainability / environmental / human / animal rights ethos of the FREE one day event are long established, having evolved from the pre-history of Nottingham Peace Festival from which it grew.
