We will create a calendar of events so you can see everything that is happening across St Albans, Harpenden and the villages. We will include your event in the brochure – unless you ask us not to. We will be publicising the events on the website and with press releases.
Now organise and run your event between 11th May and 1st June 2019.
It is up to you to organise and run your event. We will help you with advertising and letting people know about the festival. We ask that you also try to advertise the event amongst your own members and friends. We hope you will have fun with the event and also raise awareness about sustainable living with members in your group. You will be part of this exciting new award-winning festival in St Albans calendar. You will be an integral part of building a more sustainable district.
