SustFest

Following on from the success and feedback from last year’s SustFest Expo – and to celebrate 10 years since the first Sustainable St Albans Festival – we are delighted to announce that #SustFest25 will be a year-round celebration, with four seasonal community weekends!

The four weekends and their themes are:

March (14-17th): Nature & Biodiversity

May (16th-19th): Local to Global

September (19-22nd): Travel & Transport

November (14th-17th): 10 Years of SustFest!

SustSchools week/Great Big Green Week is also running in June (9-13th).

The event themes are broad and open to interpretation. For example, you might be: a local business owner wanting to tell people about the sustainable things you do; a subject expert keen to give a talk; a community group looking for new members.

Running your own event as part of #SustFest25 is a great way to connect and celebrate what’s going on in St Albans and the surrounding area.
