Derby celebrates Great Big Green Week with free event
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 13 June 2025
A free event to celebrate Great Big Green Week takes place in Derby in June – thanks to the St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID).
Activities will run all week with a public event on Saturday, June 14, which will include bespoke craft sessions using recycled materials.
Creative artist, Scraggy Moo, will run art and craft workshops for children and their families at St Peter’s Church in Derby, from 11 am to 4 pm. She will encourage youngsters to make eco-friendly art using recycled products which have been donated by businesses in the St Peters Quarter. Celebrating sustainability and talking about how to make a positive impact on our community, Scraggy Moo will help crafters create items including insect houses from clean, recycled cans.
Colourful stilt walkers, decorated head to toe with flowers and butterfly characters on foot, will parade around St Peters Quarter and families will be invited to take selfies.
The Great Big Green Week, which runs from June 8-16, is the UK’s biggest-ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.
Every year, people come together to unleash a wave of support for action to protect the planet. Tens of thousands of people across the UK celebrate the heartfelt, and everyday actions that are being taken to stand up for nature and fight climate change.
