Green Futures Festival

Sat 22nd March, 9.30am – 4.30pm at QMU, Musselburgh

The East Lothian Climate Hub are promoting their Green Futures Festival. Climate change is an issue that we will all need to reckon with. Come along to hear about practical actions you can take action at home or at work, how we can support climate action and nature restoration at scale and to collectively think about how we engage with the subject, here in East Lothian.

This is a family-friendly day. There will be sessions and themed areas on food, energy, biodiversity, circular economy, campaigns, business, youth and educators and collective wellbeing, so hopefully something for everyone!

There will be live music and food on site.

It is a free event.

The campus is easily accessible. Please note, parking is free on a Saturday at Queen Margaret University, despite the big signs saying you have to pay! For full travel options, including green travel, see our website.
