Two-day Lowestoft’s Greenest Festival returns to Sparrow’s Nest and Kensington Gardens next month

Live performances and food stalls are set to return for a two-day festival promoting climate-friendly initiatives.

Following the success of the previous event, Lowestoft’s Greenest Festival will be returning to Sparrow’s Nest and Kensington Gardens next month.

The free event – organised by Lowestoft Town Council and supported by East Coast College – is part of a national Great Big Green Week campaign.

The festival is set to take place between June 15 and 16 and will give visitors a chance to dive deep into understanding how to protect nature as well as how to tackle clime change.

A spokesperson for the town council said: “Raising awareness on how we can all help to protect our environment is a big focus for the town council, especially with our Climate and Ecological Emergency declarations and being an Earth Protector Town.

“The ‘Bigger Greener Weekender’ is a chance for us to highlight the many local organisations who are championing our local environment and give people the opportunity to ask questions and find out more.”

The festival will kick-off at Sparrow’s Nest Gardens on Saturday, June 15 at 10.30am, with live performances, activity and plant-based food stalls.

There will also be an opportunity for people to have their bikes serviced

The following day, the festival will move to Kensington Gardens and will feature talks on composting, growing your own plants and recycling.

More details on the full line-up, including the announcement of performers, will be published on the town council website and social media.
