GBGW 2025 – Greener Henley’s Big Green Festival
Greener Henley’s Big Green Festival
Market Place, Henley – 10am-4pm
Saturday 7th June 2025
Our Big Green Festival will be buzzing with lots of different stalls and activities for all on Saturday 7th June from 10am – don’t miss it! You can visit Bee Friendly Henley for free pots of mini meadows, meet the NEW Henley Repair Cafe volunteers and see what can be fixed, plus prizes go to anyone dressed as a bee!
Test your knowledge at our mini Environmental Science Fair with students from Gillotts Eco Club, stop for a cuppa at our Pop-up Swap Shop and mull over a habit swap to add to our big green heart, or chat with Henley Toad Patrol and other local nature groups to find out about ways to help our local wildlife. Explore how you can get involved with protecting and restoring nature locally with Greener Henley – helping to make Henley safer, cleaner and greener! Come and find out what your local climate and nature action charity is all about.
There will be plenty of fun and interesting things to find out and do – come wearing green and have your face painted as your favourite insect, plus we’ll have a giant snakes and ladders game, and lots, lots more!
Why not help slow down the fashion train and opt for preloved? Head over to Henley Town Hall for the Big Green Prelovd Fashion Fair, which is on from 11am-2pm in tandem with the Festival – check out the best in second hand and vintage and find something that is ‘new to you’.
