SustFest annual Schools Week

Each year, our annual SustFest Schools Week gives schools and youth groups in St Albans, Harpenden and the villages a chance to get involved with the the St Albans District Sustainability Festival (SustFest). From a full week of eco activities involving every student, to a short activity for the eco group, your school is welcome to plan activities that suit you best. We even have free downloadable assemblies. All we ask is that you tell us you are joining in!
