We are grateful for the continued support shown to the Green Festival. Like you, we are looking forward to the next event on Sunday 13th September 2026. The event has been running for over 30 years and has seen many changes and improvements in recent years.

The Festival continues to be supported by a wide range of local talented performers, musicians, family entertainers, speakers and educators.

The event now extends onto the grass area for the Family Zone and the Speakers Forum aka Knowledge Garden is now well established.

Many more stalls are now accommodated, beyond Lime Tree Avenue, into the Family Zone, around to Feargus O’Connor Walk and the Chinese Bells into the Rose Garden. We hope that we have an appropriate mix of small green businesses, food providers, campaigns and charities, all of whom are important to the Nottingham Green Festival.

This year we invited the Cycling Zone to expand into the Arboretum Gardens opposite the Bandstand, to include the pedal-powered Mammoth Cinema.

Some things haven’t really taken off, such as a second acoustic or busking area.

We also have vision to extend through the tunnel to maximise use of the Arboretum site, right through to the Mansfield Road entrance.

We need your visions too.

You are invited to join us on Sunday 7th December at 2pm at the Sumac Centre.

You are welcome to arrive sooner to enjoy the famous Sumac Sunday Brunch (11am to 2pm) and the Forest Fields Social Club aka Sumac Bar will be open through to 4pm. Veggies Catering Campaign will provide their ever popular ‘Samosas for Social Change’, cakes, teas & coffee and soft drinks.

We hope to reflect on some of the topics mentioned above and other ideas that you might suggest by email to info@NottmGreenFest.org.uk

You are welcome to send feedback in advance of the meeting to help set the agenda for discussions. If you cannot attend on Sunday 7th your emailed comments are also most welcome.
