Welcome to Newcastle Community Green Festival

The north’s biggest FREE environmental festival!

If you’re on the look out for a weekend of fun for all the family then look no further! Our weekend Festival is jam packed full of top class entertainments, workshops and music to suit all tastes and ages!
We combine wierd and high browed entertainment to spread the environmental message. From mad-cap bike powered music stages to a stylish Green Fashion show – we’ll have something for everyone!
Newcastle Green Festival supports the UN World Environment Day. Our aim is to promote positive solutions to environmental problems and raise awareness of green and ethical issues. This year’s UN World Environment Day message is: “CO2 Kick the habit – towards a low carbon economy”. With that in mind we’ll be dividing the site up into themes which explore how we can live in more environmentally friendly ways. We’ll also be putting into practice what we preach with renewably powered stages, recycling bins, vegetarian food and car-unfriendly policies.
The Festival takes place in the picturesque setting of Leazes Park which is a 5 minute walk from the city centre. In 2007, we had over 12,000 visitors. This year’s event will take place at the end of a week of celebrations to mark UN World Environment Day and will be held on the weekend of:

7th and 8th June 2008

Top Green Tips
Sustain (a group campaigning for better food and farming) recently reported that a simple shopping basket of 26 imported items had travelled 150,000 miles – equivalent to 6 times around the equator (Timesonline Dec 13 2006). Buying local food or growing your own vegetables is the easiest way to cut back on CO2 emissions, help the local economy and keep food fresh.
