Royston Environmental Group
Working towards a sustainable future
Sustainability
Giving you the know-how to pursue a greener lifestyle.
Each autumn the Royston Environmental Group aims to organise a special event which provides an opportunity for the people of the town and its surrounding area to learn about how lifestyles can change to encourage a more sustainable future.
The inaugural event in 2021 had modest beginnings. The 2022 and 2023 events were much more ambitious and provided opportunities for various local organisations and companies to display their goods and services, and to provide helpful advice on how they can help the transition.

This year the event again took place in the Priory Memorial Gardens and will be part of Creative Royston and is sponsored by Johnson Matthey, who generously helped us with our last two events.
