The Essex Green Weekend is a small family friendly festival which welcomes everyone who is interested or concerned about "green" matters. We have artists and activists, permaculturists and scholars. We also have an eclectic range of music acts. This will be the third year of holding the Essex Green Weekend and we hope to make it the best yet! Details of the programme can be viewed via this link:- Essex Green Weekend 2024.
This event is run in partnership with Trustlinks Charity The Essex Green Weekend engages communities, faith groups and anyone interested in climate change action. Taking place at Othona Bradwell, on the shores of the Blackwater Estuary between 14th June to 17th June 2024, the Essex Green Weekend is an amazing opportunity to gain a better understanding of how to:
- Take Climate Action
- Celebrate action taken
- Connect with likeminded people and organisations through networking and a range of activities, workshops and entertainment
To get an idea of what happens at the Essex Green Weekend please take a look at this video made for the first one:
We are offering spaces at a subsidised rate to enable everyone to attend. There is plenty of space for camping and day visitors are very welcome.
We will be showing the film- Six inches of soil- on Sunday evening at 7,45pm followed by a Q&A session. The film describes the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food- to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
