The week provides the perfect opportunity to show decision makers that people from all walks of life, here in Frome and across the country, are stepping up to take action on climate change, setting the stage for the most ambitious climate summit ever.
The Great Big Green Week is a nationwide event, and here in Frome there will be a range of events taking place including an exciting new live show from the SIREN Poets, We Feed…Frome at Station Approach, a special event from OpenStoryTellers and the return of Improve Don’t Move.
As well as enjoying the events on offer in September, Frome Town Council are also inviting local residents to create art, poetry and stories to show their love for our green spaces, our planet and for the action we want to see from our leaders to protect it. The artwork will be displayed in Frome Town Hall throughout Great Big Green Week, and will be used to deliver Frome’s message to the leaders of COP26. Creations can be taken to the Town Hall any time between now and September 24th.
There will also be walks, forest school sessions, film screenings, workshops, exhibitions and a PlasticFree Tea in the Park which will see students from Frome College perform their Later…with show, as well as giving people the chance to find out about the many climate-friendly projects that are happening in the town.
