🌿Looking back on the Keyworth Green Festival 🌿

Looking back on the Keyworth Green Festival, I was very pleased with our first attempt at the format, a real credit to the Parish Council Events Team.
There was a great selection of stalls and activities, with the live music, circus performers and bar all being well received. The Abundance Project and BGS also engaged with almost 200 young people, the very generation we need to be thinking about when it comes to their future and our climate.

Away from the bustle of the festival, we also held two screenings of the People’s Emergency Briefing. We had 61 people attend on the day, taking the total audience for screening to over 100. It was great to see so many people taking the time to watch the film and join in the discussions.

A massive thank you must go to all
volunteers and helpers, from the planning stages right through to making everything happen on the day. We are very fortunate that the Keyworth Show organisers were willing to share their equipment, which made life so much easier. The table, chairs, gazebos, signage and display tables really helped give the event a professional feel.
A big thank you to the Keyworth Pariah Council staff for all their work behind the scenes.

Now it’s over to you! Please let us know what you enjoyed and how we can improve the event for next year. We would also love to hear your ideas about what we can do in Rushcliffe area to support our communities with climate and sustainability 🌳

It is with great sadness that Keyworth Parish Council announces the passing of Councillor Kevin Fiztgerald, who sadly passed away on Tuesday 1st September 2026. Councillor Kevin Fitzgerald was a valued and dedicated member of the Parish Council and gave generously of their time to serve the local community. Their commitment, kindness and contribution to the parish will be greatly missed by fellow councillors, colleagues and residents. The Parish Council extends its deepest sympathies and condolences to Councillor Kevin Fitzgerald’s family, friends and loved ones at this very difficult time.
