The Big Green Event

Big Green Event is designed to celebrate the City of Southampton and those who are helping us all to make smarter choices and to live and work more sustainably for the good of ourselves, our families and our community. The event will bring together the people, organisations and solutions that will help us all to make a difference in our city. The event will also host an Advice Hub covering topics from renewable energy, water management, climate change, the oceans and more...and a co-event Big Green Wheels - clean transport showcase. It's an event for all ages and for families to enjoy.

Come along to the green event of the summer, hosting sustainable businesses where you can shop, ask the experts, watch demonstrations and even grab a pre-loved bargain! Outside you can go along to the co-event, Big Green Wheel and check out electric and hybrid cars, cargo bikes and even get yourself a bike check up from the Bike Doctor!
