On Saturday May 24 Cathedral Square in Peterborough city centre will be transformed for the launch of this year’s fantastic Green Festival.
Visit the circus tent where you’ll find an old fashioned arcade full of eco-friendly games inspired by the city’s Green Wheel network of cycle-ways. Try your hand at the coconut shy, hook-a-duck or hoopla and you could win yourself a brand new bike.
With something for all ages, most Green Festival events are completely free to attend. There are events being held all over the city with tree climbing at Ferry Meadows at 11am on May 27, a bike ride in the Ortons with Sustrans at 1pm on May 31, and a picnic at the Green Backyard on Oundle Road at 12 noon on Sunday June 1.
Selina West from environmental charity Peterborough Environment City Trust (PECT) is helping to organise the event, she says: “There are loads of health and well-being benefits if you switch some journeys to cycling, walking or getting the bus.
“This year the Green Festival is all about making it easier for people to do just that, sometimes the only thing stopping us might be that we don’t know the best cycling route or fastest bus – we’re here to help.” This year’s event aims to help get people walking, cycling and using the bus. It’s organised by PECT and is being supported by Peterborough City Council’s Travelchoice.
