— keep your eyes peeled – tickets mean prizes
Helen Tandy, Director
While the Chester Green Weekend ‘Green Tickets’ might not grant you access to a tour of a fantastical chocolate factory, it may well net recipients one of a range of exciting gifts.
Keep an eye out for the flash of a green ticket across the city centre from the 11th May throughout the weeks leading up to the Chester Green Weekend on 15th and 16th June. Clues will also be put out on the event’s social media channels so keep your eyes peeled — @chestergreenweekend.
If you’re lucky enough to find one, all you must do is put your details on the back and return it to a member of the Chester Green Weekend team at the event held at Grosvenor Park on the 15th and 16th June. Everybody who brings a ticket will receive an eco-gift— while also being added to the final prize draw. The draw offers a wide range of prizes, from the likes of Chester Zoo, Chester Racecourse, Chester BID, The Townhouse, Oh design Foundation, New Chester Market and more. So, keep your eyes peeled if you’re around Chester this June. Even if you don’t find a Green Ticket you still have a chance to enter the draw, we will also be picking 20 booked ticket holders from the first 25% of bookings, so book early for an extra chance to be entered into the draw – book now…
Chester Green Weekend is part of a national event programme Great Big Green Week which runs from the 8th to the 16th of June with thousands of events around the UK.
What is Chester Green Weekend?
Helen Tandy from Eco Communities, the organiser of the event in Chester said “We have been involved in Great Big Green Week since it started in 2020. As part of the week-long celebration, we will be hosting a number of activities throughout the week, culminating in a big celebration in the city over the weekend called Chester Green Weekend. We want to show Chester as a leading sustainable hotspot in the Northwest, as well as bring residents of our city on a journey with us; empowering them to make minor changes today to support a brighter tomorrow.”
The event will be free of charge, so if you’re in the area, you can get involved with the wide variety of activities, workshops, walks, stalls, food, and entertainment taking place throughout the city. With Cheshire West Libraries, Picturehouse, Chester Cathedral, Storyhouse, and New Chester Market all supporting the initiative, there will be all sorts to get involved with. Don’t miss out!
Tim Kenney from Chester Great and Small (Chester GAS), told us why it is so important for Chester to hold this event : “Chester GAS is all about smarter and more collaborative working to deliver a better Chester City in every discipline . We want to shine the light on Chester with a focus & future vision of Sustainability and felt this new Chester Green Weekend would be a fantastic way to do that. It has come from a collaboration with a number of Chester Great and Small’s ambassadors, all of whom are responsible for various sustainable activities in the region, including AT Fest, Green Expo, Sustainable Cheshire Fair (Eco Communities) and the Oh design Foundation, with the fantastic help of We love Good Times and Reasonably Good and others . Hopefully it demonstrates what can be done when you work together “.
Keep an eye out as you walk, shop, eat, and drink in Chester from now until Chester Green Weekend, for your chance to win an exciting prize.
Chester Green Weekend takes place in Grosvenor Park and Chester City Centre throughout the weekend of 15th and 16th June.
