This years FREE TO ENTER Sustainable Cheshire Festival on Saturday 23rd September at Grosvenor Park. We have a whole range of stalls and workshops running until around 4pm. Then we move to our evening entertainment. See below.
We’ve broken up with single-use plastic and we want you to do so too.
To keep up with our ethos of reducing waste and keeping Cheshire clean The Sustainable Cheshire Festival is going plastic free.
This year we will see the introduction of our reusable cup, The Cheshire Cup, and our NEW reusable pint glasses. You can join The Cheshire Cup Club before your visit on Saturday.
