Organisers of Bristol’s BIG Green Week are predicting their biggest ever year this June as the festival launches the City’s year-long ‘European Green Capital’ celebrations in 2015.
“Last year some 80 groups organised over 120 events during the nine days” says Festival Director, Paul Rainger. “We are expect to attract even more events this June as Bristol gears up to be the first ever UK city to be crowned European Green Capital in 2015.”
Event registration opens online today for partners to run events in BIG Green Week 2014, and remains open until Friday 28th March.
“We are once again challenging environmental groups across the UK to run an event in the BIG Green Week and to show us what they can do” says Festival Chair and Travel Publisher, Alastair Sawday. “From talks and exhibitions, through to music, art, poetry and comedy.”
Bristol’s BIG Green Week takes place over nine days from Saturday 14th to Sunday 22nd June at venues across the City. It is the UK’s annual festival of environmental ideas, art and culture, attracting over 50,000 visitors last year.
BIG Green Week 2014 will again feature two weekends of free family entertainment, starting with the Festival of Nature transforming Bristol’s harbourside on 14th & 15th June, followed by the BIG Market taking over the streets of the Old City on 21st and Bristol’s Biggest Bike Ride with the Atmosphere Electric Bikes World Championship Races up Park Street on Sunday 22nd June.
