Go Green Yorkshire: How you can make small changes to have a big impact on the planet

Go Green Yorkshire, in partnership with The Yorkshire Post, is being held at the Harrogate Convention Centre, on May 18 and 19, 2024.

The family-friendly day out will entertain, inform and educate visitors - all with the aim of making a positive environmental impact.

Early-bird tickets are now available, with prices starting from £8. Entry is free for children aged under 16 when accompanied by an adult.

Set to attract hundreds of eco-friendly brands and organisations, Go Green will feature distinct zones covering: energy and technology; travel and transport; lifestyle and leisure; food and drink; health and beauty; and home and garden.

As well as finding out the latest products and brands that support sustainability, visitors will have access to the Green Theatre, Sustainable Kitchen and a fashion catwalk. At these special zones they will experience unique discussions, talks and demonstrations from a variety of eco-friendly celebrities and experts. There will also be a test circuit for visitors to try out the latest electric bikes and scooters as well as a dedicated Children’s Zone – so no one is left out.

Go Green is the perfect day out for anyone looking to increase their knowledge on sustainability or just finding out how to be a little bit more mindful when it comes to the environment.

With some exciting celebrities, environmental ambassadors, experts, and big brands to be announced over the coming weeks, Go Green is shaping up to be one of the most exciting consumer sustainability shows ever launched in the UK.

Editor of The Yorkshire Post James Mitchinson said: ‘Climate change is a serious issue for every one of us but we hope that Go Green will be able to inform and educate people in a fun and family-friendly way. Our aim is that if every visitor leaving the exhibition pledges to make just one or two changes to their lives then these will collectively make a great impact on the emergency we are facing.’
