Great Big Green Week is back in Bovey Tracey on 13-21 June 2026, and everyone is invited to get involved. This annual week brings together neighbours to take action for the community, for nature and for the climate. Over 1 million people took part in this mass moment for nature and climate in the UK in 2025.

This year, our Great Big Green Week is going extra local with organisations across Bovey & Heathfield, creating activities that will get us all thinking differently about how we move around our community and how we engage with our local food systems.

Some highlights already planned for this year’s Great Big Green Week in Bovey include:

  • 13 June: Screening of The Engine Inside, an award-winning documentary about how bicycles have the potential to transform lives and contribute to a better world. This film will wrap up the Reel Earth season with Bovey Paradiso, Climate Action: Bovey & Heathfield and First Draft Books. At Phoenix Hall 6:30 for 7:00 start
  • 18 June: Community Cycle from Bovey to Teigngrace Meadow, a Devon Wildlife Trust reserve, meeting a local expert to look at plants, butterflies and other wildlife

Plus, look out for foraging walks, craft workshops and more from organisations like CO-OP, MAKE Southwest and National Trust-Parke.

The big finale of the week is the Great Big Green Fun Day, returning to Mill Marsh Park on Saturday, 20 June 2026. This free, family-friendly day will be a vibrant celebration of community, sustainability and creativity. Come enjoy live music from Exeter Community Folk Orchestra and Bovey Tracey School Choir, furry friends from East Shallowford Farm, an open drumming workshop, eco-themed crafts, community stalls, food trucks and a special appearance from the Animal Rapper.
