During the week there will be local shopping promotions, workshops on such things as making your own solar water panel or rustic benchmaking and inspiring and informative talks on renewable technology and its practical use. On Saturday 5 June we are joining in with the carnival procession through Hebden Bridge with Yellow School Buses, Toyota Prius hybrid car, HourCar car share scheme, schools and other groups, musicians, cyclists and pedal taxis. At the same time Calder Future will hold 10 events along the River Calder Valley.
The weekend's events include a picnic in St George's Square, Hebden Bridge when for two days it will be an open green space for you to take a break and sample the delights of the local shops.
At venues around the town and in the park, you can learn more about renewable energy and energy efficiency, sustainable building, recycling, tree planting, water power, sustainable transport, minibeasts and more.
Polly Webber, one of the organisers, says "BGW showcases what is already going on in the Calder Valley and illustrates the best of what is happening around the country."
