Every year at the start of May, the tiny Shropshire town of Clun hosts the massive Clun Green Man Festival. The three-day event is held on the first May Bank Holiday weekend each year with festivities taking place throughout the town including the famous Battle of the Bridge where the Green Man battles with the Frost Queen to signify the environment triumphing over the winter.
Literally thousands of people desend on the town to celebrate the arrival of summer and of course there is a significant environmental presence at such events with local rural craft demonstrations, wildlife displays and such like.
Volunteers from Shropshire Master Composters attended the event to run a stall about home composting and recycling. The event was a huge success, over the course of the weekend we must have spoken to over 400 people about how to compost more. For more information see www.clungreenman.org.uk
