CLEVEDON'S Great Big Green Week is fast approaching.

The week-long event, which celebrates how local communities tackle climate change and protect green, natural spaces, will start on June 10 and finish on June 18.

This is the third year that the event is running in the town. In September 2021, residents joined together for the first time to encourage sustainable thinking and raise awareness around the impact of climate change.

In the 2022 event, over a quarter of a million people got involved, and national organisations, institutions, businesses and media outlets joined in.

Here's some of the activities taking place to celebrate Great Big Green Week
