Runnymede Great Big Green Week

Runnymede Borough Council is joining forces with its local communities to celebrate Great Big Green Week in 2024. The Council’s objective is to expand the reach of events through engaging collaboratively with a wider number of local groups, seeking to organise an exciting and varied programme of activities.

So far, we are planning to re-run our Environment and Sustainability Photography Competition, Litter Picks, Nature Walks, Library Talks and many more initiatives supported by local schools, faith groups, community organisations, and individuals. If you would like to run an event in Runnymede, please email us as we would love to hear about your event and how the Council can support you.

Kindly note that Runnymede Borough Council accepts no liability associated with events not directly organised by the Council.
