Green Festival

In association with Royston Museum

Saturday, 14th June 2025 at Royston Museum

Organised by the Museum in partnership with Royston Enviromental Group, local organisations and groups explored how we can tackle climate change, protect nature and make little swaps for good in our own lives.

There was a whole host of activities for everyone to enjoy; from hands-on maintenance and repair advice to seed/plant swaps and crafts to take home with you. Other groups involved included the Green Heat Coop, Dr Bike, Royston Repair Cafe, The Friends of Therfield Heath and more! The Royston Environmental Group and the Community Garden had a stall dedicated to swapping plants and seeds.

"Bee Part Of It" event

John O’Connor in Partnership with North Herts Council

Saturday, 29th March 2025 in the Priory Memorial Gardens

A beautifully sunny day saw lots of people attend the event which was part of John O’Connor’s Pest Control and Ground Maintenance departments' project to create a bee corridor in North Herts and to work towards Bee Friendly Status for Royston.

Lots of stalls were set up with many things to see and do including face painting, bee keepers telling us how bee hives work and selling honey, constructing bug hotels and not forgetting the “Big Throw” at 1.15 when everyone was invited to throw wildflower seed bombs into the gardens.

Keep Britain Tidy Litter Pick

Saturday, 23rd March 2024

Serby Avenue Play Area, Royston

The Group organised a litter pick as part of the Keep Britain Tidy campaign. This time we met at the play area at the far end of Serby Avenue.

We were lucky to have a short window between gusts of wind and threatened showers to be able to collect several bags full of discarded litter. We even got some thanks from passers by.

Christmas Jumper Swap Meet

Saturday, 18th November 2023

Royston Library

The Royston Envirnmental Group, in association with the WasteAware Hertfordshire Partnership, held a Christmas Jumber Swap Meet.

Who says you have to be a dedicated follower of fashion? Here was an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe with some pre-loved daft jumpers for the festive celebrations. You could bring along your old jumpers and swap them for something else which may have taken your fancy.
